How Does Acupuncture Work?

The key principle that defines and connects all of Chinese medicine is that of Chi, or vital energy. The chi (Qi) of all organs must be in balance, neither too active nor too dormant, for a person to be healthy. The chi of the body's organs and systems are all connected in meridians or channels that lie just under the skin. A Naturopathic Doctor will use Eastern herbs and acupuncture to assist the body in regulating the Chi and achieving balance. Acupuncture is the use of very thin needles which are inserted into specific meridian points. The practice of acupuncture has been around for over two thousand years.

Electrostimulation or Electro-Acupuncture or Electroacupuncture is a modern version of acupuncture, it uses electricity to enhance the benefits of this traditional therapeutic treatment by stimulating the acupuncture points and producing a more profound effect with the chi (Qi)
