| It is a system of medicine that achieves health by balancing the energy of the body and stimulating our own healing powers. A persons energy (Chi) is distributed through twelve energy pathways. Fine, sterile stainless steel needles are inserted into specific points just below the skin. The points are located on the channels along which the energy flows and by stimulating these points, the flow of energy is altered. This in turn restores the balance of our health. |
