We are working with the 12 Meridians, think of them like energetic pathways, that have access points that I needle to bring balance back to the system.
The points are used to effect change in the body by accessing the Qi.
Qi is the equivalent of life force or energy found within the body. Imbalance or deficiency of Qi is what can cause disharmony.
When we go to the doctor with a complaint, for example high blood pressure, the doctor will ask questions, ask about your lifestyle (nutrition, exercise), and then most likely prescribe a drug to lower your blood pressure.
The way that acupuncture works is to look at the whole system to find the root cause, not the symptom. Why is your blood pressure high? What is the cause? Do you have a really stressful job that creates anxiety in your life?
Acupuncture can’t make the stressful job go away, but it can help with how you handle that stress. And suddenly your high blood pressure is going down.
