TRADITIONAL ACUPUNCTURE – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Acupuncture was first developed in China, around 2,500 years ago and involved used stone needles. Traditional acupuncture is a holistic system that helps to ease pain and illness, whether it’s physical or mental. Traditional acupuncture considers every bodily function to be connected and interdependent, it also recognises the role that emotions play in illness and disease, the overall aim to restore the body’s balance and symmetry.
This treatment works on the underlying principle that illness and pain occur when the body’s qi, also referred to as vital energy, can’t flow freely. The body’s energy can become obstructed, the same was a trapped nerve or blocked artery happens, this can be from a number of reasons including emotional and physical stress, poor nutrition, infection or injuries. Over the years scientists have come across more information about the body’s ‘qi’ and how cells in the body can communicate.
Inserting very fine and sterile needles into specific acupuncture points, a traditional acupuncturist will seek to re-establish the flow of the qi and restore the balance by encouraging the body’s natural healing response.
