Chi and acupuncture

Chi – as we mentioned before – is a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medical philosophy. Chi is believed to exist in all living things as a critically important life force or spiritual energy. It is generated by our internal organs and we also receive it from food, water, air and sun light. Our body has natural patterns through which chi flows – the meridians. It flows through the body to help nourish and regenerate. Illnesses are often the by-product of blocked or imbalanced chi in the body’s meridians or an imbalance of chi in the body’s key organs. Traditional Chinese medicine relieves these imbalances by adjusting chi circulation in the body. Acupuncture is one of the ways of achieving an ideal flow of chi through the body.
