Acupuncture is a form of treatment from traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture has undergone many refinements and developments over time. It is based on the theory that certain areas or points on can influence our mental, emotional, and physical energy. Thin needles are inserted into these specific points which stimulate the underlying energy channels, restoring the balance of the original energy flow (Qi). In this way, acupuncture helps the body to heal itself, reduce complaints and strengthen the unity between body and mind.
