For the past 5,500 years it has been refined and developed throughout Asia, and its proven success has led to recognition by such esteemed institutions as the World Health Organization.
Acupuncture is a relatively non-invasive method of working with illness.
It has no side effects and is completely safe when prescribed by a qualified practitioner. In Europe, as its practical value became recognized, it has become part of many National Healthcare Services. Simply put acupuncture is the use of fine needles to stimulate and balance the body's metabolism to restore health. The needles are gently inserted at specific points that have been seen to have a precise effect on the body function. There are 360 major points as well as a host of 'extra' points, which are used singularly or in combination to form a Treatment.
