Acupuncture
A system of health care that has been in use for 2,000 years in China. It is recognised by the World Health Organisation as safe and effective.
It is based on an understanding the flow of Qi (energy) of the body. Many illnesses of the body and mind can be cured by the use of sterile, disposable needles in strategic points to unblock obstructions to the pathways along which Qi flows and restoring the balance of Ying and Yang.
