Acupuncture and Bowen Technique
Acupuncture is a complex branch of ancient Chinese medicine that is based on principles developed in China over the past 2000 years.
Principles of Acupuncture and Bowen
The foundation in which these principles are set is that there is a subtle life energy, called Qi (pronounced chee), circulating through all parts of the body via energy channels, called meridians. These meridians connect our head, torso, arms, hands, legs, feet, and all internal organs. According to Chinese medical theory, pain and illness results when the smooth, cyclical flow of Qi in the meridians becomes blocked or unbalanced. An acupuncturist uses acupuncture needles to stimulate specific points along the meridians. This stimulation helps restore balance and the smooth flow of Qi so all parts of the body can work together in harmony as intended. This harmony allows the body to repair itself and maintain health
