Acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow
called Qi (pronounced "chee"). When this energy flow is disrupted due to
trauma, poor diet, medications, stress or other conditions, pain or illness
result. Acupuncture focuses on correcting these imbalances of energy flow by
inserting ultra-thin needles under the skin to stimulate specific points of the
body. Stimulation unblocks the channels and encourages an even flow
of Qi, restoring the body's balance and relieving pain and other symptoms.

Herbs, nutrition and exercise are used in conjunction with acupuncture to
strengthen the various systems in the body (circulatory, endocrine and
immune functions) to prevent and cure disease. Chinese medicine focuses on
the importance of preventing disease and illness. Esther fixes your sickness
but she also teaches you to love your body and maintain your health.
