How acupuncture works?

to the body. When there is
a blockage or imbalance in
the flow of Qi, symptoms
associated with illness may
appear.
To treat Qi imbalances, fine,
sterile needles are inserted
at specific points along the
meridian pathway. This
unblocks and rebalances the flow of Qi, promotes natural
healing, and can also improve overall function and well-being.
