Acupuncture

Acupuncture literally means ‘needle piercing,” the practice of inserting very fine needles into the skin to stimulate specific anatomic points in the body (called acupoints) for therapeutic purposes.

Looking at the body as an integrated system of biomagnetic fields it was discovered that all parts and properties are interlinked through a living matrix that is mechanical and vibrational, creating a network throughout the human body. Acupuncture needles were believed to be the gateways to that matrix. A mean to redirect, increase, or decrease body’s vital substance – Qi, thus correcting many of the physical symptoms that derive from an array of imbalances.
