Acupuncture
is a 3000 year old practice with its origins in Oriental medicine, a
comprehensive natural health care system that has been used in Asian
countries for thousands of years to preserve health and diagnose, treat
and prevent illness.
It treats health conditions by stimulating
“acu-points” by inserting very thin needles through the skin to produce
physiological effects. Other methods also used to stimulate acu-points
are by heat or finger-pressure. The general theory of acupuncture is
that proper physiological function and health depend on the |

circulation
of nutrients, substances and energy called Qi (pronounced “chee”)
through a network of “channels” or “meridians.” This network connects every organ and part of the body, providing
balance, regulation and coordination of physiological processes. Pain
and ill-health result when the flow of Qi through the body is disrupted
or blocked by many things, including disease, pathogens, trauma/injuries
and medication, as well as lifestyle factors such as overwork, poor
diet, emotions, lack of rest and stress. Stimulation of the acu-points
helps to restore sufficient, continuous and even flow of Qi and other
nutrients throughout the body, thereby restoring health and balance to
the body, while relieving pain and other symptoms.
Acupuncture
is used to acheive vibrant health and joy in both body and
mind. Treatments induce profound mental and physical calm and
rejuvenation. Stresses and illness fade, making sessions preventative.
Research shows the body’s hormones, blood, and neurochemistry are
regulated. Pain cycles and inflammation ease. Hair-thin, disposable
needles are gently and slightly inserted with guide-tubes so treatments
are essentially painless.
Microcurrent is subsensory, and Electro-stim and Acutonics give a
gentle tingling and vibrational glow. Hands-on touch deepens effects.
Marcia also uses infrared light to aid healing.
