About acupuncture

Accupuncture originates from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), an ancient holistic medicine originating in East Asia thousands of years ago. It uses very fine needles that are inserted into specific points along the body to activate the energy there and regulate the flow of qi and blood which helps to restore health benefits.

It is able to restore good health by regulating hormones, immune function, improving digestion, relieving pain and reducing stress levels and anxiety.

There has been much research into how it works. Researchers have found that it works on different aspects of the brain and the lymphatic system.
