Acupuncture
is the branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) most recognized in this
country. There are other modalities such as herbs, moxa (mugwort is used
like incense to warm and stimulate certain points), auricular therapy (needling
the ear as a micro system for the body), cupping (suction is used to release
the meridians) are examples of other modalities. TCM, through these methods, addresses and treats the
body as a whole. Acupuncture reconnects and rebalances your body. A
colleague of mine explains "It’s like flipping a circuit breaker." I
like that analogy, the needles flip the breaker and the system is reconnected
and starts to work again.
