While Western medicine works from the outside in, Eastern medicine works from the inside out.  People may ask “is there medicine on the needles?”  This is a great question.  No, the needles help your body make its own medicine.

There are over 365 acupuncture points on the body, and each of them have different jobs.  Stimulating the point with an acupuncture needle is like knocking on a door.  Each building (point) has something different to offer.  One point moves stagnant blood, another point works on hormone regulation, another point warms the body, another one strengthens energy.

The body has its own self-healing abilities.   Just as we often don’t use 100% of our brain or 100% of our muscle capacity, in the same way, our body is often not using the full extent of its healing powers.  The acupuncture stimulates these healing abilities, giving a surge to your reserves to allow your body to get the upper hand on the health problem.
