The Wood energy of the season wants to rise up, push through, and get things done. It’s active and energetic, and supports vision, creativity, and leadership. This is the time of year we would work on any blockages so we can have access to all that great energy. After all, the themes of the season are growth, rebirth, and renewal. When this energy is thwarted or constrained, the result is Qi stagnation.

Acupuncture is a holistic medical practice that originated in China over 3,000 years ago. The medicine is based on the understanding that health is achieved through balance.

It may seem strange that when you get an acupuncture treatment for a backache we needle a point behind your knees, or for gall bladder stones we needle a point on your foot. What makes it possible? Every part of your body is connected by a meridian system!
