Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese method of natural healing by inserting fine needles into various pressure points around the body. Its aim is to put the body's energy back into its natural balance. In Chinese Medicine Theory our body is made up of 12 meridians, and our energy's life force(qi) runs through these meridians. When qi is flowing smoothly and in balance we are in good health, however, when our energy is not flowing or blocked this can result in some symptoms of pain and illness.
