What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the skin and underlying tissues for therapeutic effect. Central to Chinese medicine is the idea of qi (‘chee’). Qi is the life-force or energy which is said to flow throughout your body along pathways on the surface of the body, called 'meridians'. By needling specific points along these pathways, we can influence the qi and harmonise this life force to stimulate your power of self healing.
