Acupuncture
The origins of acupuncture have been traced back around 4,500 years ago. They originally used Bian stones instead of needles. In 1972 President Nixon visited China and opened the way for acupuncture to enter America. Chinese medicine and acupuncture have been shown to help with a wide variety of conditions as seen in multiple research articles. The theory of Chinese medicine is to balance the energy or chi in the body. When the body’s energy or chi is not moving freely we can develop health concerns. Free flowing chi allows the body to thrive and maintain health.
