Rather than using the harsh artificial chemicals in modern medicines, herbs and acupuncture bring your body back to health easily and naturally, giving you a pain-free, more energetic, and richer life. Acupuncture has been used in Asia for over 2000 years. According to Chinese medical theory, fourteen energetic meridians traverse the body. Illness, disease, and pain occur from imbalances, excesses, or deficiencies in these meridians or in the internal organs. By inserting needles at specific points the patient is brought back to balance, leading to better health.
Acupuncture needles are very thin, much thinner than the hypodermic needles used for inoculations.
They are so small that two or three acupuncture needles will fit inside a typical hypodermic needle. Being thinner, they cause very little pain, usually no pain at all. Most patients only feel pressure or heaviness when a needle is inserted. These sensations are a sign their body is reacting positively to the treatment. Additionally, needles are sterile, are used only one time, and are disposed of immediately.
