The human body is made up of both the seen and the unseen. When we speak of the unseen, we speak of energy of Chi (or Qi, and in Japanese, Ki). Some people claim to see energy. Scientists can measure it with such instruments as a biomagnometer. To understand acupuncture, we must first look at Chi. For over two thousand years the theory of Chi has been the basis of classical Chinese medical practice. Chi is said to flow through a system of channels in the body: when the flow of Chi is disturbed for whatever reason, illness results. Acupuncture treatment aims to re-establish the normal flow of Chi and thus restore ones health. The art of acupuncture is a therapy which uses needles, manipulated in certain prescribed ways to improve or enhance energy flow along various routes (channels and collaterals) in an effort to restore normal function. Along these routes are specific points that are used to insert needles. It also includes the application of heat and massage by cupping, moxibustion, or manipulation. It is said that when you've not eaten for some time, you grow hungry but that if you go without food long enough, the hunger subsides. Similarly, leading a life full of stress, disappointment and illness, we grow calloused in many ways and though we may not realize it, we lose the glow and excitement of a very healthy life. The promise that we hold out to you is a chance that you can recoup your health and then perfect it to such levels as you've never known. Acupuncture, however, will work despite the human belief system.
