What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a major discipline of traditional Chinese medicine that dates back over two thousand years. For the ancient Chinese, there is a set of channels in the physical body that connect the organs to each other, like an electronic map. These channels are referred to as acupuncture meridians.
An energy called Qi, in Chinese, flows through these meridians and nourishes the whole body. If the energy is blocked and no longer circulates, the organs and cells are no longer supplied according to their needs.
Several factors can cause imbalances or blockages of the Qi, thus triggering symptoms or even pathologies. These factors can be of various origins such as accumulated emotions, inappropriate diet, overwork or weather conditions.
The goal of acupuncture is to fluidify and rebalance the circulation of energy in order to nourish the cells and organs.
Recent studies on acupuncture have shown that it has the effect of releasing endorphins, corticosteroids, serotonin and other neurotransmitters from the central nervous system.
During the acupuncture session
The session lasts 1 hour.
The therapist begins with a history taking during which he examines the patient to determine the energetic imbalances.
Then the therapist and the patient take the time to discuss the different points on which the patient wishes to work and set a goal together.
The therapist places the needles and lets the patient relax to fully benefit from the effect of the stimulation of the acupuncture points. The therapist stays with the patient throughout the session to answer any questions or to prescribe a herbal formula completing the treatment if needed ( for more information you can consult our page : Pharmacopoeia).
