Acupuncture<\/strong> in its classical form it is a characteristic component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It has been categorized as a natural treatment that works effectively to relieve pain and helps to prevent many diseases. It is a procedure involving penetration of the skin with needles, to stimulate certain points in the body.  According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, stimulating specific acupuncture points in the body corrects imbalances in the flow of Qi (energy) through the channels known as meridians. The practice of acupuncture is in principle concerned with removing any blockages and maintaining the free flow  Qi as well as re-establishing the dynamic balance between Yin and Yang (when not in balance is at the root of diseases).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
