Acupuncture therapy is used to not only eliminate pain and suffering, but also to create and maintain good health and well-being. It deals with the balance of “vital energy.” Acupuncture practitioners measure the flow of vital energy within internal avenues known as “meridians and channels.” Acupuncture fosters good health by stimulating particular areas along meridians. Each is an “acupuncture point.” The objective of acupuncture is to adjust the vital energy so the right amount, reaches the right acupuncture point, at the right time.
