Acupuncture
The ancient Chinese believed that there is a universal life energy called Qi present in every living creature. This energy is said to circulate throughout the body along specific pathways that are called meridians.
As long as energy flows freely throughout meridians, health is maintained, but once the flow of energy is blocked, the system is disrupted and pain and illness occur. Imagine rivers that flood or an electrical grid that causes black-outs.
Acupunture works to re-program and restore normal functions by stimulating certain points on the meridians in order to free up the Qi energy.
