Tropical Therapy Acupuncture |
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles using prescribed points to influence physiological functioning in the body. It is among the oldest known
healing practices in the world.
Because the needle is as thin as a strand of hair most people report little or no
pain at all during the insertion. Using the needle to stimulate the point, the arrival
of Qi will be experienced. After the acupuncture is received, some patients
feel energized, others feel relaxed. Once the treatment is over the needles
are properly disposed of and never used a second time.
Qi is the life force/vital energy which flows through the body vertically along
specific pathways or meredians. There are 14 main pathways including 2,000acupupncture
points. A person's health is influenced by the flow of Qi in the body. If it is insufficient or interrupted, Yin and Yang become unbalanced and illness
may occur. |
