How Does Acupuncture Work?

Disease occurs when an organ or area of the body is blocked or deprived of blood or vital energy (known as “qi”). By placing very fine, sterile needles into various acupoints on the body, acupuncture helps to regulate and restore balance by contacting and directing the flow of energy between vital organs and along channels in the body known as “meridians”.

Acupuncturists know the location of several hundred points on the body and how to use them to restore the flow of blood and energy so that your organs and health function the way they were intended.

More information can be found at www.acupuncture.com, www.acufinder.com and the National Institutes of Health.
