The ever mysterious Qi with the needling technique releases the blocked flow of energy and invigorates our body; takes pressure off our central nervous system. Our body is composed of over 700 pressure points. Its amazing how someone can live in a tremendous amount of pain daily and be so out of touch with their body that they overlook the actual reason behind tension, headaches, stress, pre-existing conditions etc. Acupuncture releases pressure off your central nervous-system and restores your energy field.

When someone is experiencing tremendous amount of pain in their body, not only is that pleasant; if you take a deeper look you are also experiencing your bodies energy field being disrupted. Acupuncture is based on a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for at least 2,500 years. The theory of why Acupuncture tends to work so well for so many people is that it can manipulate and regulate blood and energy flow connected by 20 pathways or meridians that connect to 2,000+ acupuncture points on the human body. Tiny hair thin needles are inserted into these points providing relief from various ailments.

It is also conceived that it regulates the body temperature and assigns it back in balance and at the same time will stimulate the activity of the white blood cells.

There is no doubt that acupuncture is here to stay on as it has been for centuries. The meridian lines are believed by the Chinese to be lines of vitality and this is where the aging procedure will commence from, hence, this is where the treatments should happen. The rationality being because of the flow of energy.

The Chinese healing art of acupuncture is one that can be dated back at least two thousand years. Some authorities maintain that acupuncture has been practiced in China for even four thousand years. Though its exact age is vague, what is certain is that up until the recent twentieth century, much of the population of the world was uninformed about acupuncture, its origins, and its capacity to promote and maintain good health. Even today in relatively "advanced" nations such as the United States there are many who hold acupuncture under the stereotype of a new or radical medicine, one which would almost always be a second choice after more familiar Western approaches to handling illness. Following a brief synopsis of the theory of acupuncture, the following text will, to a limited extent, elucidate the vast history of this ancient medicine and assert that it is neither new nor radical.
