Acupuncture Education – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide
Acupuncture originated in China and is a treatment that can be traced back thousands of years
. The general theory of traditional acupuncture is based on patterns of energy flow through the body that are essential for health. This energy is referred to as Qi or Chi and sometimes Xue (blood). Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for pain and disease. Acupuncture works to correct imbalances of flow, helping to restore health.
