Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a major discipline of traditional Chinese medicine that dates back two thousand years.

It consists in stimulating, using fine single-use needles, the points located on the meridians. The meridians are energy paths crossing the whole body including the energy also called Qi. They are associated with different organ systems such as the liver, lungs, heart etc.

Depending on the pathology and symptoms of the patient, the observation of the tongue and palpation of the pulse, the therapist chooses certain points that allow the organism to balance itself. This is the principle of homeostasis.

When we open our skin, the body heals itself. This is also true inside our body. Symptoms appear when the body can no longer self-regulate, it then asks for help by manifesting itself in pain, sleep disturbances, etc.

Thanks to the acupuncture needles, the chosen points will accelerate the self-healing process by releasing endorphin, corticosteroids, serotonin and other neurotransmitters of the central nervous system.

Let us imagine that the meridians are highways then the energies will be the cars which circulate there. When we encounter traumatic situations, for example stress, this creates traffic and therefore a stagnation of energy in our meridians. The energy is blocked and no longer circulates. Organs and cells are no longer supplied according to their needs.
