Basic Theory of Acupuncture

The basic theory of acupuncture comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine, which believes that the body’s health depends on the balanced flow of vital energy called Qi (Chi). Qi flows through pathways in the body known as meridians. When the flow of Qi becomes blocked, weak, or unbalanced, it can cause pain or illness. Acupuncture works by inserting thin needles into specific points along these meridians. This helps restore the smooth flow of Qi, balance the body’s energy, and promote natural healing. In modern terms, acupuncture may stimulate nerves, improve blood circulation, and release natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body.
