What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that can be tracked back to at least 2500 years. The theory behind acupuncture is based on Qi (pronounced "chee"), or vital energy that flows throughout the body. Acupuncture is a medical technique consisting of placing needles at strategic points on the body to activate body's innate healing resources.
Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture are complementary therapeutic modalities that are often used together in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions.

Ancient herbal information was gathered, compiled, formulated, tested, and handed down from generation to generation.
