Simple Root Acupunture Clinic

Acupuncture (Acu- Latin word with a needle, puncture - English word pierce through) is a type of alternative medicine that involves the insertion of a needle into the body, usually through acupoints, to improve the circulation of qi via channels called the meridians and collaterals in the body.  When the flow of blood and qi is impeded or blocked, problem arises. Acupuncture aims to alleviate the problem by improving the flow of qi.

Acupuncture is seen most effective against aches and pain.  Pain can be caused by two main factors in TCM perspective. One is 不通則痛 (bu tong ze tong), meaning blockage causes pain. Another is 不榮則痛 (bu rong ze tong), meaning malnourishment causes pain. Through the manipulation of the needle, acupuncturists can achieve a reducing or tonifying effect to relieve the symptom. Acupuncture can also deal with any diseases that may be caused by the disturbance of flow in qi, such as hay fever, bell’s palsy, headache, tendonitis, menstrual cramps, infertility, gastrointestinal illnesses etc.
