Putney Acupuncture Clinic - Acupuncture in London

Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine which was developed in China over 3000 years ago. It is based on the concept of Qi (or chi) which is the vital life force that flows in our bodies through an energetic network of channels that are called meridians (jingluo).

When the Qi or energy flows freely thru the channels we experience health and wellbeing. However, when the flow of energy gets blocked that is when discomfort, pain or ill health present themselves.

There is an old Chinese saying that illustrates this point well which translates: 'Pain, no free flow. Free flow, no pain'. So what we try to do with acupuncture is to restore the free flow of the Qi throughout the body. By doing that we can eliminate the symptomatic manifestations of the obstruction of energy flow, whatever they may be, achieve balance and regain health.

Acupuncture is a holistic medicine that looks at the human being as a whole rather than just focusing on symptoms and diseases. Instead of trying to separate the body from the mind we view them as parts of an energetic system. Physical symptoms and emotional issues can then be seen as different manifestations of energy blocks.

In an acupuncture treatment you will have a specific point combination tailored individually to you, that will aim to balance your energy. That should lead you to feeling physically invigorated and energetic, yet emotionally calm and relaxed.
