Acupuncture (TCM)

Learn More

Chinese acupuncture is about stimulating and enhancing the body’s interdependent functions and self-healing power. Acupuncture treatment involves the use of thin metal needles, which are inserted through the skin at specific points running along the body’s meridians (energy channels). This treatment aims to restore the flow of Qi (vital force) that has been disrupted with illness-causing blockages and imbalance.
