From its beginnings in China over three thousand years ago, Acupuncture has developed across the world to become one of a number of branches of medicine that is contributing towards public healthcare. Acupuncture is a natural, non-toxic system of medicine. The principal method of treatment involves rebalancing the flow of energy know as Qi that runs throughout the body. It is blockages in this energy that causes the disharmony that can lead to illness and emotional problems such as stress and anxiety.
