Acupuncture
Acupuncture is based on the assumption that Qi (energy) courses through the meridians in the body just as streams and rivers ebb and flow across the surface of the earth. Every organ has a corresponding set of channels or meridians. The acupuncture points are located in small depression in the skin called “gates” where the channels come closest to the surface. With acupuncture, the gates of the body are opened and closed to adjust circulation in the channels and expel noxious influences from them. The acupuncture needles are inserted into the points to communicate from outside to the inside. Acupuncture mobilizes Qi, Blood, Moisture, invigorating proper function of muscles, nerves, vessels, glands, and organs.

Usually relaxation and an elevation of spirits accompanies treatment. Some people feel the desire to continue resting as it is the me energized. Some symptom relief will be experienced and a sense of well being will continue for days following treatment.

Acupuncture can also be helpful in treating addictions such as:
sugar	cocaine	chronic fatigue
caffeine	stress reduction	signs of aging
alcohol	surgical recovery	decreased immunity
nicotine	support while receiving chemotherapy or radiation
