Acupuncture

The art of inserting fine needles into particular points on the body is as mystifying to most people as it is both ancient and highly effective. To a practitioner like myself, with decades of experience, I can still be amazed on a daily basis at the speed and simplicity with which a person's pain level or mind state can be altered. It feels like the human body has been hard-wired with an in-built health promotion/re-balancing system, designed to be needled in order to generate therapeutic benefit.

You can understand more about the underlying mechanism of acupuncture by reading our article 'How Does Acupuncture Work', or find out what you can expect from an acupuncture treatment by reading 'Acupuncture Practice'. Or if you want to explore how acupuncture fits into the broad field of Chinese Medicine, have a look at 'Traditional Chinese Medicine', 'Fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine'

For the exceptionally inquisitive patient, our little book 'The Bare Bones of Oriental Medicine' will give you everything you always wanted to know about the theories of Chinese Medicine.
