Acupuncture is an essential part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a comprehensive system of medicine with a continuous clinical history of over 3,000 years. TCM is based on the theory that energy, or "qi," flows throughout the body along identifiable channels, called meridians. Acupuncture points are located along the meridians, and when stimulated, cause healing effects. Each meridian, in turn, corresponds with an organ, tendons and muscles. Symptoms are considered to be an artifact of the disharmonious flow of the body's qiTraditional Chinese Medicine treats the underlying cause of disease. The practice of any paradigm of medicine is an art; at Lotus Root we determine your individual and unique symptom pattern, discover where your body has become imbalanced and restore the harmonious flow of qi.
