Acupuncture has developed over the last 4000 years as an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The ancient Chinese believed that there is a universal substance in the body called Qi (pronounced “chee”) and it helps to bring about balance and harmony to the body, mind and spirit.
Research has shown that certain effects of acupuncture are mediated through endogenous opioid peptides in the central nervous system, thereby reducing pain. For other conditions, it helps to invigorate the function of muscles, nerves, and internal organs through ‘reflex arcs’.
