There’s nothing to fear except pins and needles with this popular Eastern healing practice

If the thought of voluntarily piercing your skin with needles seems more like masochism than relief, you may be missing out on the Eastern healing treatment that’s gaining worldwide popularity.

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice based on the belief that the human body has the power to fix itself. The treatment aims to accelerate the healing process by placing thin needles into the skin to stimulate key points on “meridians.” This is often accompanied by Moxibustion, a complementary treatment that applies heat to acupuncture points.

The overall aim is to restore the flow of chi(気) energy throughout specific pathways of the body and balance the yin and yang. When the flow of chi is blocked, pain and sickness result.
