Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the act of penetrating thin, solid, filiform needles through the skin to stimulate specific points in the body in order to elicit a desired response and to trigger the body's own healing mechanisms to restore balance, energy (qi), promote relaxation, relieve pain, boost immune function & achieve overall wellness.
A favorite Chinese Proverb by Huang Di Nei Jing (Ancient Chinese Philosopher & Practitioner) states: "If there is free flow- there is no pain, if there is pain, there is lack of free flow."
