ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is the best known healing method in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is practiced for over 2000 years, in special cases it can be combined with moxibustion, a warming therapy by using mugwort (bot.) cones. In Chinese medicine acupuncture points are called "Shu Xue" (transport points) or "Qi Xue" (caves of Qi).By stimulating this points, the bodies self healing forces are activated and by this way the energies are balanced. In special cases the points can be heated with moxibustion. Both techniques are so closely linked that in Chinese language they are described by just using one word for both: "Zhenjiu" (which means stinging and burning). In most cases the points are located along the so-called meridian system, which forms an invisible network of channels spreading throughout the entire human body. Laser acupuncture is an alternative to acupuncture with needles. With this therapy the points are stimulated with a soft laser, which is tuned to a frequency close to that of infrared light.
