Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body.

These points correspond to pathways (or meridians) through which vital energy, otherwise known as ‘Qi’, flows. By stimulating these points, acupuncture aims to restore the balance of Qi, promoting health and wellness. Acupuncture can be used to address a wide range of health issues, including pain management, stress reduction, and improving overall health.
