TCM acupuncture is an ancient healing art and is among the primary modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine widely recognized for the numerous benefits it brings. The theory of acupuncture is based on the idea that the human body contains energetic pathways called channels or meridians through which life force circulates. The Chinese mostly refer to it as Qi.

The meridians runs along the same pathways as the circulatory and organ system, evenly distributing Qi flow through the body. Well, the essence of doing this is to maintain normal, healthy, functions.

But in the event that the energy flow becomes congested or diminished in any region of the body, a state of imbalance will occur, creating an environment for ailments to manifest. TCM acupuncture relies on hair-thin needles that are inserted into specific points of the body. These needles are stimulated to facilitate Qi flow and unblock congested channels.

In the last couple of years, PET scans have been widely leveraged to visibly see the effects of TCM acupuncture during treatment. Once a person is hooked up a PET scan, areas of the body that are healthy appear as bright yellow, orange, or red in color.

In contrast, areas of the body where stagnation, ailments, and blockages are present appear to be void of color or dark blue. Upon the completion of TCM acupuncture, we are immediately able to see, on screen, the hue shift from no color or blue, to a bright yellow, orange, or orange. This is a clear indication that free flow of Qi is once again becoming balanced.

The beauty of TCM acupuncture is that therapies are catered to the individual. The treatment of disease tends to vary with each person, place, time, pathogenesis, and type of disease. Each person’s unique physical constitution, mental state, daily activity, dietary intake tend to be different.

It is worth mentioning that TCM acupuncture is very gentle with almost no side effects and helps to balance the Qi blood, and body fluids. The same points can be used to treat diarrhea and constipation, depression, and anxiety, hypo, and hyperthyroidism. The desired effect entirely depends on the body’s current stage of illness, acupuncture technique and intention.
