The Essence of Traditional Acupuncture:

Acupuncture is based on the belief that our body's energy flow, known as "Qi", can sometimes be impaired. This imbalance can lead to various ailments and discomforts. By inserting fine needles at specific points on the meridians, practitioners can redirect the Qi, restoring the body's natural balance and promoting healing.
