How does acupuncture work? Oriental Medicine practitioners believe the body has over 2000 acupoints along meridians( chanel of energy). These points resonate  to various organs in the body, many being “distal” or some distance away from the corresponding organs. Sometimes these points are blocked, leading to what acupuncturists call “stagnant Qi” (energy.) Needles are inserted and manipulated to strengthen or equalize energy and blood going to that organ. This allows energy to flow more freely so the body can better heal and regulate itself.
