ACUPUNCTURE
In Classic Chinese medicine, the human being is accepted as part of the living universe, it is thought that the universal power existing in everything is also available in the human’s soul. This energy called "Chi" circulates in the canals called "meridian" in human body. With the Acupuncture method having a background of 5,000 years, it is aimed at providing and thus preventing the disease, eliminating prevention of energy circulation occurred in these canals.
Human body has a high recovery power.
There are individual stimulation points activating this power in our body, and they are called "acupuncture points." These points are stimulated by acupuncture needles and energy circulation is restored to normal condition in our body, and thus disease condition is eliminated. Therefore, disease is treated spontaneously without need to drug therapy for organism. It is a therapy method used to identity any reason of the disease, but not any symptoms.
