Acupuncture
At Heart & Soul Institute, one of the primary holistic modalities used is acupuncture. This involves the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points. Acupuncture needles, unlike hypodermics, are ultra-thin and flexible, thereby permitting a nearly painless insertion. TCM views the body as an intricate system of organs connected by pathways known as meridians. These pathways carry life force energy, or qi. When the flow of qi is blocked or disrupted, pain and illness are the result.
Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of qi. As this flow of qi returns to normal, health and well-being are gradually restored.
