Qi: our life force

Qi: our life force, the vital energy one must have to live. In traditional Chinese medicine, for one to live without any physical or emotional/mental pain the qi must be balanced within the body. It flows through all the organs, along all the nerve pathways, within the blood, even in the earth beneath our feet. It is never created nor destroyed but when we become deficient or accumulate an excess we begin to experience imbalance and health issues can arise.

The main focus of acupuncture is to balance the qi within the body. To relieve the body of any excess, and restore any deficiencies. Qi deficiencies can present as fatigue, poor digestion, bloating, loose stool and low or no appetite while excess qi presents as pain, irritability, stress, tension. Let us help you balance your qi!
