WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE ? 
 
Acupuncture is a health care system based on the stimulation of special points near the surface of the skin. Its purpose is to help restore well-being by adjusting and balancing the functions of the body's system.

Acupuncture is a Chinese cure that uses, amongst other things, needles for curing diseases. For centuries now acupuncture has been the most important part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (T.C.M.) as used in the Far East, China, Japan and Korea. The reason is that eastern thinking traditions, philosophy and acupuncture have evolved together. In the western world, where acupuncture is of growing importance in medicine, the concept that mind, body and environment interact very closely is now widely accepted. Acupuncture is based on the concept of energy. Energy in nature regulates (plant)growth, climates, seasons, day and night etc. In man, it takes care of all the processes that make people living creatures: seeing, hearing, thinking, feeling, digestion of food, breathing, sleeping, emotions, reproduction, etc., to make a long story short: everything.

In a natural, healthy situation, all forms of energy between an organism and its environment are in balance with each other. Disease, however, is to put it simply, a disorder of the natural balance. In cases in which the body is not capable of restoring the balance again by itself, acupuncture can offer help.
