Acupuncture Getting to the Point of Natural Health
November 7th, 2008
Natural health cures using Acupuncture may have seemed ‘new age’ to Western Cultures, but these methods have been in practice in Chinese culture for over 4000 years. Chinese culture believes in a person’s Qi of energy flow. All parts of the body form the Qi and should it get unbalanced or out of kilter illness can occur.
Around the body the body parts and organs are represented by Meridians which are the point where the sections can be most easily accessed by the acupuncture needles. These are tiny and very sharp and do not cause pain. Acupressure and heat treatments called Moxibustion is also used in conjunction with Acupuncture. The needles relieve the imbalance and bring the energies back into line.
