Acupuncture.

The Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is based on the premise that channels or rivers of vital energy run in regular patterns throughout the inside of the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the movement of these energy channels is like a dam on a river: this obstruction of energy flow can either be the cause or the result of disease in the human body and also the human psyche, or mind.

The energy meridians in the body and mind can be influenced by needling the acupuncture points: acupuncture needles unblock the obstructed flow of energy and blood and reestablish normal flow through the meridians, thereby restoring health and balance. Vital energy or Chi is present in every part of the human being's body, including in the human mind and brain. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body to correct imbalances in all areas including neuro-muscular-skeletal conditions, internal medicine, and mental and emotional problems.
