Acupuncture works by the insertion of very thin needles into acupuncture points which are situated along specific energy pathways (meridians) all over the body. The meridians are linked to each other and to the vital organs. Points are stimulated to remove energetic blocks and balance the vital energy (Qi) in the meridians and their connected organ systems.
