The Acupuncture specialist deals with the Acupuncture treatment of TCM Acupuncture Therapy and prevention of disease by stimulating acupoints on your body, using fine sterile single use needles. Acupoints are located on meridians which are vessels that carry Qi in specific patterns over the surface of the body and are responsible for connecting your body systems and nourishing the organs and tissues.
Qi is a concept of Acupuncture techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine used to describe one’s “vital energy” or “life force”. There is really no word in the English vocabulary that truly describes Qi. Qi flows smoothly and is of a sufficient amount when you are healthy. A stagnation or imbalance of Qi will cause disease. The Acupuncture expert regulates and harmonizes the flow of Qi. She can not control or force Qi. A TCM acupuncture treatment lasts about 45 minutes.

The history and acupuncture benefits
Acupuncture techniques were extremely popular in China until Chang Khi Chek took power in 1932. Many cultures have had similar ideas to that of Acupuncture services. In 1550 B.C. the Egyptians, in the Papyrus Ebera, described vessels that were similar to the Chinese meridians. Brazilian cannibals shot tiny arrows with blowpipes to diseased parts of their bodies to cure disease.
Acupuncture therapy was banned in the cities and Western medicine promoted. When Mao Tse Tung took over in 1945, Western influences were minimized and Acupuncture services were restored as a method of healing.
New York Times journalist in 1972 was in China and had to have an emergency appendectomy where acupuncture therapy was used as the anesthetic. This caused a renewal of interest in acupuncture services.
