Acupuncture


Acupuncture originated with Ayurvedic Medicine but the stronghold for the healing technique is in China. This methodology became part of the ancient Chines culture and has retained much of its practices to present day.
This is a technique that treats the diseases or ailments of the body by manipulating the Chi of the individual. Chi is the Vital Life Force of everything animate and inanimate.


The theory and concept is from Traditional Chinese Medicine that postulates that Chi flows within he body on 12 pairs of Energy Pathways called Meridians. The techniques in itself involves inserting needles into acupuncture points that are located on these meridian pathways. These needles are solid, and the fineness of these needles are like a single strand of hair.  
Classically acupuncture has been used to treat every pathological as well as phsiological and psychological conditions with varied amount of success.
