About Acupuncture

 

The History

For over 2000 years, Chinese acupuncturists have focused on and adjusted the subtle human energies known as “Qi”. Modern scientists cannot explain how the ancient healing therapy works; they simply know that it does. Recent research has shown that acupuncture produces beneficial changes in the body’s natural painkillers, anti-inflammatory agents, immune system functions, and hormonal activity.
