How Acupuncture Works in Chinese Medicine
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the body’s health depends on the smooth and balanced flow of Qi (vital energy) through pathways known as meridians. When Qi becomes blocked, deficient, or excessive, the body may experience pain, fatigue, or illness. Acupuncture works to restore the balance of Yin and Yang, ensuring that Qi and blood flow harmoniously throughout the body.
