In Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is used to remove dampness and heat from the system by selecting certain points along the meridians of the stomach and large intestine. Chinese herbal formulas are also an important part of the treatment. The Chinese system of horology uses a combination of herbs based on the constitution of each individual. Meridians are invisible pathways along which life essence (qi) (energy) travels to promote one’s well-being and health. Every part of the body is connected by these pathways. The effects of acupuncture include improving nerve and endocrine control, improving sleep, increasing mental tolerance for anxiety and depression, enhancing or regulating GI function, mobilizing stem cells, and eliminating abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation amplified by synergistic effects.
