When we are healthy, our organism is able to interact with the environment in which we live and maintain a dynamic equilibrium.

On the other hand, if we are unable to respond to the influences we receive, the balance is disturbed and harmony is not restored, resulting in disease.

Acupuncture aims to restore the dynamic balance of the five elements, of yin and yang, and the correct circulation of Qi, in order to restore the harmony of body, mind, and spirit.
