This system of medicine has been practised in China for over 3,000 years to treat a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions, illnesses and diseases.

Very fine stainless steel needles are inserted into the acupuncture points to stimulate the vital force, or Qi (Chi), which is understood as a dynamic energy that circulates through the body in the acupuncture meridians or channels.

The Meridian system of Traditional Acupuncture evolved, over several millennia into an elegant form of medicine. It is based on an understanding of the energetic patterns of relationship between the body's organ systems, the subtle-energetic and spiritual aspects of our Being, the environment, and our connection with the greater pattern of the Whole.

Using needles to stimulate the acupuncture points on the meridians is a highly sophisticated means of restoring balance between all these aspects of Being, and affects not only the health of the organs, but often induces an increased sense of well-being.
