Permanent acupuncture

Acupuncture is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is based on life energies of the body (Qi), which circulate on defined longitudinal pathways, the meridians, and have a controlling influence on all bodily functions.

A disturbed energy flow is responsible for diseases and is balanced by stabs into the acupuncture points adopted on the meridians. In closely related methods, blunt pressure is applied to the points (acupressure) or they are heated (moxibustion).
