What is Acupuncture?

Traditional Chinese acupuncture is over two thousand years old. It has developed into an integrated healing system that treats the whole person - body, mind and spirit. It considers the presence of illness to be evidence of disharmony of the body's vital Qi or energy. The method of diagnosing the pattern of disharmony takes into consideration a person's physical and mental health, lifestyle, diet and many other aspects of a persons life.
