Acupuncture
Traditional Five Element acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice, effective in treating a wide range of ailments. It is based on the understanding that the body's vital energy (known as Qi) moves throughout your body in channels beneath the skin. When this flow of energy becomes blocked, disturbed, or depleted it can cause a range of physical or emotional symptoms. Acupuncturists treat specific points on the body to rebalance and regulate the flow of Qi and promote healing.
