Basics of Acupuncture

One of the services we have here at Sacred Healing Arts is acupuncture. 

The very basic principles of acupuncture are simple. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that there are 365 points and 14 major avenues - or meridians of energy that flow through the body. These avenues run through our body from head to toe and through the major organs. 

The energy that moves through the meridians is known as Qi and it flows smoothly and reach all areas of our body down to the cellular level - for a healthy body. 

When the flow is harmonious and ongoing, health flourishes. When the flow is disrupted, qi can stay at a particular place and disease will occur as a result. 

Acupuncture needles are not only sterile, but are also non-reusable needles that are gently placed at one or more of the 365 points along the meridians. The purpose of acupuncture is to have these points stimulated to send a message to the body to re-balance the qi and promote self-healing - or promote qi movement.
