Acupuncture
Spice up your meridians
Curious about acupuncture? Even though this traditional chinese medicine has been around for more than 4000 years, it deserves to be better known here! The science of acupuncture relies on the energetic system of the body and the Qi (pronounced /chi/) circulating in our meridians. A meridian can be viewed like a virtual line that starts from one point to another. They are directly connected to organs. Try and imagine an energy canal working like an electric circuit. By using one point or another on a meridian, we can influence an organ or different precise functions of the body. The goal of applying different stimulations on some points of a meridian is to help make up a deficit of energy of certain organs or at the contrary, evacuate an overflow. To sum up, the main principle of this traditional medicine is to reestablish energy flow in your body and help avoid illnesses.
