What Is Acupuncture?
“Needling therapy activates complex defensive mechanisms in the body, involving the immune system, tissue reactions, blood vessels, sensory nerves, somato-visceral pathways, autonomic nervous system (ANS), central nervous system (CNS), brain and endocrine glands.” – D. Kendall
- Acupuncture is also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a powerful, natural 4,000 years old medical system.
- It is rooted in empirical, evidenced based practices, and inspired by a holistic approach to life. At its core, it states that all living organisms are inter-dependent of each other and regulated cycles of life.
- It treats physical, organic diseases, as well as emotional imbalances; and it always considers the relationship between body, mind and emotions. In this way, it never separates the influence of the environment, emotions and mind on the health of a person.
