Chinese acupuncture involves several needles inserted into specific points on meridians or energy channels. It works on the theory that some illnesses are derived from an imbalance in the bodies natural energies or Qi flowing through the system.
It targets certain organs by inserting fine sterile needles into certain acupressure o energy points which influence our organs. These can be found on one of twelve energy channels called meridians - each acupressure point corresponds to specific internal organs in our body.
Qualified Chinese acupuncture expert will decide which of the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water) is out of balance in the body by looking at your tongues and taking a pulse reading. This will give him or her a diagnosis of the yin and yang of your organs and which of the five elements is lacking in your body.
