This widely used form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) promotes natural healing and enhanced functioning through stimulation by using very fine filaments on defined parts of the body, known as meridians. Meridians are thought to be energetically-connected to organs, structures and systems throughout the body. Tapping into these pressure points releases blockages, causes the energy to circulate and restores balance within the body. Acupuncture is recognized by The World Health Organization as a beneficial therapy for many medical conditions ranging from neurological and gastrointestinal to mental and emotional.
