Acupuncture helps reinstate innate healing capabilities. In addition it is used as a preventative medicine to promote good health, better energy levels, balanced appetite and sleep giving a sense of well–being.
It works using fourteen meridians or energy channels that encompass the whole body. Each of these meridians relate to an organ, e.g. liver, spleen, lungs etc. Each organ can be balanced using certain points along its meridian, positively impacting the other associated organs.
Diagnosis is carried out by taking the pulses, looking at the tongue, observing the patient and taking a thorough history.
Acupuncture is a complete system of medicine.
