“If there is FREE FLOW, there is no pain…” -Ancient Chinese proverb Moving Parts…the body is a series of intricately designed, moving parts which are built for survival. Without our conscious awareness, our bodies protect us every day from intruders like bacteria and viruses and cancer. We have an amazing built-in self-healing system. The stress and rigors of modern life, environmental toxins, and poor diet have all wreaked havoc on our self-healing mechanisms, creating all sorts of preventable illnesses. This ancient Chinese proverb refers to the concept that Chi (Qi, Prana, life force, energy) should run smoothly through the body. Imagine a beautiful stream with clean pure water running freely, no obstructions, to an ocean…that is free flow. With a free flow of Qi, the human body is at its’ strongest and is most able to maintain its’ own self-healing mechanism. Acupuncture is one of the modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine which is designed to promote the smooth flow of Qi and re-ignite your body’s own beautifully designed self-healing mechanism.
