Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese healing system; believed to be originated before many centuries. Earliest documentation about Acupuncture dates back to second century BC.

Acupuncturists believe that energy (chi) circulates in the body through twelve points in the body known as meridians and diseases are believed to be the result of blocked or misdirected energy flow. Fine needles are inserted in to the body at specific points to unblock or redirect energy flow.

There are 2000 acupuncture points located on the connecting frame work of twelve meridians and eight secondary meridians.
