What is Qi?
At the heart of acupuncture is the concept of Qi (pronounced “chee”), the vital energy that flows throughout the body. Natural healing here in Charleston relies on maintaining the quality and balance of Qi, which animates the body and protects it from illness, pain, and disease.
How does Qi move?
Qi travels through pathways called meridians, which are fourteen main channels that connect organs and glands. Like rivers nourishing the land, meridians deliver life-giving Qi to every cell, tissue, muscle, organ, and gland in the body.
How is Qi disrupted?
Obstructions in the flow of Qi, caused by stress, trauma, poor diet, overexertion, or seasonal changes, can block energy flow and lead to pain, fatigue or illness. Normally, the body self-corrects; however, prolonged imbalances can result in chronic health concerns.
Blockage of the flow of Qi can be detrimental to a person’s health and leads to various signs and symptoms or health concerns.
