Acupuncture and Its Safe Benefits
These Are Exactly the Reasons Acupuncture May Be for You
Acupuncture has been around even before our grandparents were born, and as old as human history, it is still as prominent as it ever was because of its benefits. It rooted from China, where in has been practiced as an alternative approach to healing. Practitioners believe health is the product of the harmonious balance of the yin and yan’s, the complementary extremes of the forces of life called as ‘gi or chi,’ wherein QI is flowing through the body’s pathways or meridians, but can only be accessed by the body’s 350 acupressure points.
Part of this principle is that there will be illness if imbalance is present in these gi and chi, something that acupuncture can address—through inserting (sterile) needles in different pressure points using correct combinations, restoring the energy flow and its balance.*
