WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
 Although
comparatively new in this country, Acupuncture is an ancient system
of healing developed over thousands of years as part of the traditional
medicine of China, Japan and other Eastern countries.
The practice of acupuncture is thought to
have begun with the discovery that the stimulation of specific
areas on the skin affects the functioning of certain organs of
the body. It has evolved into a system of medicine that restores
and maintains health by the insertion of fine needles into acupuncture
points just beneath the body surface. These points are in very
specific locations and lie on channels of energy.
Here in the West, acupuncture has been misleadingly
publicised as only being helpful in specific conditions such as
the relief of pain. It is in fact, extremely effective in a wide
variety of conditions through its power to affect the body's own
healing response and its ability to affect the hormonal system.
