Acupuncture is the ancient art of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which has been practiced for more than 3,000 years. According to the TCM system, the healthy body is balanced with Qi (vital energy) flowing freely throughout the body in specific channels and nourishing the organs. Acupuncture is particularly effective in pain management, anxiety, stress & panic attacks, depression, cancer care, asthma, bronchitis, stroke, headaches, sinusitis, gastrointestinal disorders (ulcers, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome), gynecological issues (menopause, PMS, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menstrual cramps), obstetric concerns (infertility, pregnancy, postnatal care), and urinary and sexual problems.
