Simply put, acupuncture is the insertion of very tiny needles on very precise points on the body to help  promote blood and energy flow, and to stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal.

Acupuncture is an ancient therapy rooted in East Asian medicine dating back thousands of years.  There are many forms of Chinese medicine practiced today, but here at Desert Sol Alchemy our  treatments are primarily derived from the Classical Chinese Medicine lineage. CCM is based upon  Daoist naturalist philosophies, has been recorded, preserved, and passed down through ancient texts  and family traditions, and is considered to be the most holistic approach to medical treatment. CCM  was largely lost during the Maoist Chinese communism regime in favor of a more mainstream, western  influenced style of medicine referred to as Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although both are highly  effective, TCM primarily focuses on the primary channel system whereas CCM places a larger  emphasis on the complement channel system which includes the sinew, luo, divergent, and  extraordinary meridians in addition to the primary channel system. This approach creates a deeper  understanding of each individual and invites a more holistic treatment style which encompasses the  body, mind, and spirit.
