WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown as effective in the treatment of specific health problems. These points have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years. Recently, electromagnetic research has confirmed their locations.
ORIGIN OF ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is an ancient Oriental healing art that predates historical records. As many as 5,000 years ago, according to authorities, the Chinese noticed that pain could be relieved when they rubbed stones against their bodies. It was also discovered that some soldiers wounded by arrows recovered from long suffered illness. This collection of ideas led to the principle that needles inserted into various points of the body, when manipulatd, could eliminate many diseases. This can be said to be the beginning of acupuncture. The earliest record of an effective cure through acupuncture treatment, is that Pien Chueh of th Warring States period (475-221 B.C.) applied acupuncture to revived a dying prince already in a coma.

How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture consists of inserting and manipulating needles into the body at specific points along meridians. Meridians are pathways in which energy flows through the entire body. (Contrary to popular belief, meridians are not nerves.) They are linked to each other, to internal organs, to various connecting tissues of the body, the skin and even to the outside layer of the body (the aura layer). Acupuncture points work like the control knob or switch on a sophisticated piece of electrical equipment. When stimulated, they produce a more effective reflex action, which sends a message to the related inner organs, nerves, and muscles along the meridian, to awaken and generate the healing mechanisms within the body, which provide the acupuncturist and Oriental medicine doctor with easy access to the internal organs without surgery. Without meridian and energy balance, natural healing or good health is not possible.
