Acupuncture works with the channels of energy that run in patterns throughout the body. These energy channels, called meridians, are like rivers running through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. Each meridian is associated with a particular symptom or organ.An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers, or meridians, is like a dam. The meridians can be influenced by inserting a needle into specific acupuncture points; the acupuncture needles unblock the obstructions at the dam, and re-establish the regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the mind and body to correct imbalances.The scientific explanation is that acupunture stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system.The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.Butterfly Healing's approach is to promote your own natural healing abilities through natural therapies.
