ACUPUNCTURE

Western vs. Eastern Viewpoints

The Western viewpoint of acupuncture is as follows: when a painful area is gently needled, it will increase local blood flow. This stimulation brings in nutrients and flushes out toxins, reduces inflammation and encourages healing.

The Eastern viewpoint of this 2,000-year old science is slightly different. Chi, or life energy, has a natural flow through the body. When that flow is blocked, pain and disease are the inevitable result. When meridian points are painlessly stimulated through the insertion of hair-like needles, normal energy flow is restored. Dysfunction is eliminated.

It doesn’t matter what direction you lean in—acupuncture is a wonderful and effective healing modality.
