Originating in ancient China, Traditional Acupuncture is the oldest continuously practice medical system in the world. This medical model is based on natural laws which describe the flow of life energy in nature and in the body. When the ch'i in the body is full and flowing, health is promoted. When the ch'i is not full and flowing, illness can begin.
Symptoms are the body's distress signals, warning that there is a problem.
If the real problem is not addressed, sooner or later something more serious is likely to occur. Traditional Acupuncture treats the deeper underlying cause in addition to alleviating the symptom. Traditional Acupuncture treats the individual as a whole, addressing mind, body and spirit and serves as a powerful complement to Western medicine. Back to HealthPoint's home page .
