Acupuncture is a medical system which has been evolving for about 5,000 years. There are many different styles of Acupuncture, ranging from Classical Acupuncture, Five Element styles, Japanese styles, to modern Traditional Chinese Medicine. As a whole, we can say that Acupuncture understands there are channels commonly referred to as ‘meridians’ which run through the body. These meridians have many functions of both sustaining life as well as preserving life by keeping toxicity away from the most important structures of the body. When these meridians become blocked or over taxed due to toxins from dietary habits, mental/emotional habits, and lifestyle habits, the body produces symptoms. Very often these symptoms are an attempt by the body to get rid of the toxins and to alert us that it is time to change.
The acupuncturist determines what kind of change the symptoms are asking the person to make, and then gently inserts sterile, hair-thin needles into these meridians to help with the necessary adjustments. Additionally, we use essential oils, massage-like pressure, or Core Synchronism to affect the same changes without the insertion of needles. This allows for sensitive individuals, including children, to benefit from the 5000 years of clinical research and efficacy of acupuncture.
