What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture uses specially placed hair thin needles to enhance the natural healing ability of the body. Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing. By inserting the needles at specific points in the body along acupuncture channels, the points have been identified to have the ability to affect biochemical and physiological conditions in order to treat a wide variety of illnesses. Along the acupuncture channels there are specific acupuncture points that have a designated electrical sensitivity that stimulate various sensory receptors that can stimulate the hypothalamic-pituitary system in the brain.
Acupuncturists believe that within these channels an energy exists called qi (chi). It is when there is blockages or imbalances of this within the body and organ system is when disease develops. Within the human there are over 365 acupuncture points not including extra points and points located on Microsystems within the body ie: the ear.
The Food and Drug Administration considers acupuncture needles to be legitimate medical instruments. At Eastern Healing we only use sterile disposable needles.
