Acupuncture - Luton & Dunstable
Traditional Chinese philosophy states that in order for the body to be healthy, there has to be a balance of energy around the body. The energy, Qi ("chee"), flows through channels beneath the skin and if its balance is disturbed, then illness can occur. Energy can be disturbed by a number of factors including emotional such as anxiety, anger, or grief. Also from things such as poor nutrition hereditary factors, infections and trauma.
Treatment involves inserting very fine needles along the energy channels. This stimulates the body's own natural healing process and creates a balance of energy promoting good health.
