Acupuncture and Herbology

The existence of life energy has been written about and taught to healers and practitioners of all traditions. This energy body, known by many different names, is responsible for directing the flow of life force, or Qi (pronounced chee) through many channels known as Meridians. This life force is responsible for many activities in the body, namely supporting the physiology and nourishing the organ systems through balancing and energizing the cells of the body. Acupuncture is the science of directing this Qi, or life energy, to the area of the body needing healing and regeneration. Herbs and homeopathy are often used with acupuncture as they also have a beneficial effect upon the body to accelerate the healing response.
