Acupuncture
1) Fourteen major energy channels called Meridians course
through the human body including the head, arms, hands, legs,
feet, torso, and internal organs.
2) A subtle energy called Qi (pronounced Chee) circulates via
the meridians to all parts of the body, even the most remote
cells.
3) Qi is the vital force, the presence of which separates the living
from the dead. Its balanced, unimpeded flow is critical
to sound health.
4) Any misdirection, blockage, or other derangement of the
amount, flow, or balance of Qi may result in pain,
dysfunction, and ill health.
5) With acupuncture needles, or other means, the acupuncturist
stimulates certain points (Acupoints) along the course of the
meridians. Such stimulation helps restore the normal balance
and flow of Qi so organs and bodily systems can work
together in harmony as intended. This sets the stage for the
body to repair itself and maintain its own health.

Needle Treatment
Typically, acupuncture needles are fine and
flexible, no bigger around than a human hair or
piece of thread. When the needle makes
contact with Chi, the energy, most patients
experience a slight tingling sensation.

| Electro-Acupuncture Therapy a therapeutic method of stimulating a certain area or acupoints with induced or direct electric current. It is the using of very small electrical impulses through the acupuncture needles. |
a method of stimulating Acupuncture points by
applying suction through a metal, wood or glass
jar, in which a partial vacuum has been created.
This technique produces blood congestion at
the site and therefore stimulates the point or
the area.

| Moxibustion a therapeutic technique of applying an ignited stick or cone of special Asian herbs over the affected part of the body or acupoints. |
Ear Acupuncture
The surface of the ear contains an invisible
upside-down representation of a fetus and
points on the ear correspond to bodily parts
and organs. Stimulating appropriate ear points
often effectively treats pain and disease in the
corresponding parts or organs.

| Q: Which Acupoints To Treat? |
Treatments
| Over centuries of trial and error and meticulous observation the Asian accurately mapped the locations of the meridians and identified hundreds of specific points in the meridians where Qi can be accessed and stimulated when there is an aberration of flow. Those points are commonly called “acupoints.” |
Several thousand years ago Asian physicians
discovered that Qi, the vital force, circulates
throughout the body along fourteen major
channels. English-speaking acupuncturists
usually call the channels “meridians.”
Meridians form a highly-complex invisible network
transporting and directing Qi to every part of
the body including the head, arms, legs, torso,
organs and systems.

Meridians & Acupoints
| Traditional formulas fitting each diagnosis are readily available in charts and books- formulas which have worked through the ages for billions of sick men, women, and children. Those formulas confirm which acupoints to treat. |
