Acupuncture is a complete system of curing which provides effective treatment for numerous conditions, from the common cold and flus, to addiction and chronic fatigue syndrome. It increases immune response and  lessens pain by balancing the flow of vital life energy throughout the body. It It is also effective as an adjunctive treatment for AIDS.

  Acupuncture arised in China over five thousand years ago. The Chinese believe that health is determined by a balanced flow of qi the vital life energy present in all living organisms. According to acupuncture theory, qi circulates in the body along twelve major energy trajectories, called meridians, each linked to specific internal organs and organ systems.         

  William Michael Cargile, Chairman of Research for the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, states that there are over one thousand acupoints within the meridian system that can be stimulated to increase the flow of qi. When special needles are inserted into these acupoints (just under the skin), they help correct and rebalance the flow of energy and therefore relieve pain and/or recover health.
