A Brief Introduction
Acupuncture is a system of medicine that originated in China over 2,500 years ago and has now become probably the most popular complementary/alternative medicine in the Western world today. Used to treat chronic and acute disease, acupuncture restores and maintains health by the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the surface of the body. This process stimulates the different systems of the body to function at their optimum level, thus allowing it to re-balance and enhance itself, by using its own regenerative and self-healing powers. No drugs are used, in fact, when appropriate, drug regimes are reduced and in some cases, eliminated altogether. (In consultation with your GP)
