What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture, as one of the pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a comprehensive health care system to preserve health and prevent illness. Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the surface of the body by inserting very thin needles (about 0.1-0.2mm) to produce physiological effects. In particular, acupuncture promotes the continuous and even flow of Qi (pronounced “Chee”) through pathways called channels or meridians. This network of meridians connects and nourishes every part of the body to provide balance and regulation of the physiological processes.
What does acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture has been known to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions. Some conditions commonly treated by acupuncturist are the following:
Allergies, anxiety, asthma, arthritis, back and neck pain, bladder problems, constipation, cold and flu, cough, depression, diarrhea, dizziness, drug/alcohol/smoking addiction, effects of chemotherapy, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, headache/migraine, high blood pressure, immune system deficiency, joint problems, knee pain, menopausal discomfort, musculoskeletal injuries, pre-menstrual syndrome, sciatica, skin problems, and stress/tension.
In November 1997, the National Institutes of Health endorsed acupuncture for being helpful in treating a number of conditions. This article can be found at:

Hey there,
I just wanted to say thank you for working with me yesterday! It as the most interesting experience. I have been dragging all week; cranky, slow, tired, under the weather…. When I started walking back to my car in the sunshine I felt lighter and happier… then the sleepiness over took. I wondered if I was going to make it through teaching my class over at People’s. I got over there quicker then I thought so I sat in the sunshine a bit. Then a bliss washed over me. I felt so connected with the class. I got out and was not only yoga blissed but generally in love with life. Thank you so much. I am not sure what you did but it worked. I still feel a bit with my sinuses but not nearly as bad as before. I am hoping that I can overcome the possibility of getting sick.
