Traditional Acupuncture stimulates the body, mind and spirit to heal itself, as far as nature will allow. In Chinese medicine any illness or symptom, either physical, mental or emotional, is associated with an imbalance of the person's vital life energy, or Qi. Acupuncture can be used to rebalance to restore health.This principle of Traditional Acupuncture is important because it means the underlying cause of the disease is being dealt with rather than the symptoms merely being suppressed only to reappear in the future. As well as dealing with the patient's condition by restoring the overall balance of energy, because Traditional Acupuncture is holistic and treats everyone as an individual , patients usually feel better in themselves, promoting an improved quality of life, energy and general well being.
