What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and it is the most popular medicine practised in East Asia. In Chinese medicine, there is a notion that a type of life force known as 'qi' (pronounced as 'chee’) flows through the entire energy pathways in our body. Whenever this pathway gets disrupted, the body suffers and only on achieving the proper flow of 'qi' can health and wellness come by.

During an acupuncture treatment, thin needles are inserted by a trained practitioner at specific points on the body. The needles give an external stimulus, leading to the release of the body's natural painkillers. This initiates the self-healing process and rebalances the patient's energies.
