Acupuncture points are similar to a keyhole while an acupuncture needle is like a key; it unlocks and accesses the energy of the body to disburse or gather the energy to create balance. an acupuncture needle, once inserted, brings more circulation to that area, Increasing blood flow, oxygen and nutrients, while simultaneously removing toxins. It also induces the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkiller, creating an overall sense of well-being.
