Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive medical system that has been practiced for over 2,000 years and includes the use of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. As a holistic system it looks at the body as a whole, inter-connected entity.

It is rooted in the theory of yin and yang. Health is derived from a subtle regulation of internal systems to balance these two essential substances. The theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine also takes cues from the natural world--the changing of seasons, the life cycles of plants and animals, the surrounding environment and habitat--and applies the laws of nature to the physiology of the body. 

The body is mapped by acupuncture channels. These channels access the energy that binds the emotional, mental, structural and spiritual cohesiveness of the body. The channels pertain to different anatomical processes and organ systems, and depend on the functionality of other channels to remain healthy.

Each channel is composed of acupuncture points, all of which have specific functions and actions. When a patient is treated, the needles are inserted at particular points to stimulate these functions, thereby restoring health.

Acupuncture has been endorsed by the NIH (National Institute of Health), WHO (World Health Organization), and Mayo Clinic as an effective and safe form of medicine.
