Acupuncture is the insertion of hair thin, sterile needles into locations on the body along pathways that relay biological information and substances. This activates the body’s qi and promotes natural healing by enhancing recuperative power, immunity and physical and emotional health. The National Institute of Health, the World Health Organization have come to integrate and promote acupuncture as a safe, effective, and low-cost method of treatment for a wide variety of disorders.

An acupressure massage is similar to a normal massage yet involves applying pressure to certain meridian points on the body to relieve pain.
