Acupuncture, which has been in constant use for the past 3000 years as a complete medical system, is one of the primary treatments used in the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture promotes the body's healing abilities by regulating the flow of Qi (vital life energy in the body, pronounced 'chee') by inserting very fine needles into specific points in the body. Over many years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has mapped out the flow of Qi in the body through a system called meridians. Each of the 12 main meridians connects to one specific organ, or group of organs, that govern particular bodily functions. Illness results when Qi stagnates or is blocked, or when the body has too little or too much of it. When energy flows freely, wellbeing/balance is restored.
