Acupuncture

I had someone ask me yesterday about acupuncture. I realized that his questions were likely some you may have. I think most of you know that acupuncture is the use of needles, but you may not know that the needles are actually placed along the energy meridians.

Eastern philosophy sees acupuncture as affecting the flow of energy through the energy meridians. Western medicine reasons that the needles interact with our nervous system, triggering the release of hormones or chemicals that affect mood, pain perception, and immune response.

Since everything is energy, acupuncture can have a very profound affect on a variety of ills, pains, and even depression.
