What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a system of healthcare which has been practised in China and other Eastern countries for thousands of years. Treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles at specific points on the body in order to unblock energy pathways. According to Chinese philosophy, the individual experiences good physical, mental and emotional health when the energy in these pathways (meridians) can flow freely. The meridians can be disturbed through many factors such as stress, injury or emotional upset. Acupuncture can be used to both maintain good health and to treat a wide range of conditions.

If you are new to acupuncture it may be useful to know that the needles used bear little resemblance to those used for giving injections or for taking blood. They are extremely fine and the sensation they give is a slight tingling or a dull ache at most.

Acupuncture has grown in popularity in the west during the last 30 years and interest in its' benefits is evidenced in the frequent press coverage. A report from the World Health Organisation provides an extensive list of conditions for which acupuncture can be used.
