China Spring Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art originating from China; it has been practiced for over 3,000 years. In ancient China, people learned that sharpened metal could relieve pain. After generations of practices,  acupuncture developed into a complete healing system used to prevent & treat disease and improve overall health & well-being.

Acupuncture points

Acupuncture meridians are traditionally believed to comprise channels that connect the surface of the body with internal organs. Twelve primary meridians are located bilaterally in the body, the left and right meridians are symmetrical and influence each other through the interconnected meridian channels. The network of meridian channels is believed to be located within soft connective tissues. No matter what your age or race is, the meridian system/energy flow is the same.

By inserting hair thin, solid pre-sterilized needles into specific areas of the body (acupoints), the meridian system/energy flow can be unblocked and dynamically re-balanced, thus giving a person to restore a good internal balance and to establish and maintain a good health. Researches on the mechanisms of action have revealed that endogenous opioid peptides in the central nervous system play an essential role in mediating the analgesic effect of Acupuncture/electro-acupuncture. Further studies have shown that different kinds of neuropeptides are released by an electroacupuncture with different frequencies.
