Acupuncture
Eastern medicine is a complete medical system than involves acupuncture, which is the painless insertion of very fine needles which part the skin to stimulate specific points on the body. This process aids the body by alleviating pain and treating a wide variety of physical, mental, and emotional conditions - as well as maintaining general wellness, boosting immunity, and managing stress.
The Eastern Medical paradigm views disease as an imbalance or disruption of the body's natural function or flow; acupuncture is a method used to promote and restore that balance, regulate bodily processes, stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, boost the body's natural endogenous painkillers and endorphins, and increase blood flow.
