Usually qi can be felt radiating from the point of insertion and further spreading throughout the body. Most patients feel very relaxed and some people fall asleep during treatment. Acupuncture stimulates the qi throughout the meridians that are interconnected internally. When there is disharmony or pain, qi has become blocked and stagnated. Acupuncture can relieve pain and clear such blockages throughout the network of meridians and collaterals of the body.
Acupuncture promotes the free flow of qi throughout the body.
When the qi is able to move unrestricted, healing balance and harmony are restored. After an acupuncture treatment, many people experience a sense of peace and tranquility that can last for days. In addition, acupuncture is being used to treat poor circulation, edema, carpal tunnel syndrome, allergies, sciatica, infertility, PMS, menstrual disorders, emotional disharmony, shingles, eczema,immuno-suppressive disorders and more. However, it is important to note that Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the notion of prevention of disease by living in balance and harmony. In other words you don t have to be sick or injured to appreciate the benefit of an acupuncture treatment.
