Balancing Qi Energy

Acupuncture is based on the theory that health is determined by a balanced flow of Qi (pronounced “chee”), the vital energy present in all living organisms. 

According to acupuncture theory, Qi is circulated in the body along energy pathways, called meridians.  

There are over one thousand acu-points within the meridian system that can be stimulated to affect the flow of Qi.  

Combinations of acupuncture points help correct and rebalance the flow of energy and consequently restore health. 

It is rooted in the understanding that the mind, body and spirit are connected and that when one component is out of balance, it will affect the others.  

Qi energy moves in pathways throughout the body, and in every cell. 

The quality and quantity of Qi influences our health.  Qi can become blocked or stuck, causing imbalances and eventually, disease.  

Physical or emotional trauma, stress, lack of exercise, poor diet, weak constitution, and seasonal cycles can all lead to imbalances that may eventually result in illness and pain. 

Stimulation of acu-points relieves blockages and restores the flow of Qi, encouraging the body's natural ability to heal itself.
