Acupuncture Cardiff

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine which originated in China over 3000 years ago and it is also the most researched form of complementary therapy.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine we all have a vital energy or life force known as Qi which flows along invisible pathways or meridians. Any constitutional weakness may disturb this flow of Qi causing it to stagnate in the channels. By inserting fine needles into specific points along these meridians, will free the stagnation and stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms. Research shows that acupuncture stimulates the brain to produce endorphins. These chemicals affect various body systems, reduce pain and make you feel good.

Today the World Health Organisation recognises over one hundred conditions that may be helped by acupuncture.
