Qi means like kind of energy(but not same).
Energy can become unbalanced for a whole variety of reasons - emotional states, hereditary factors, infections even weather conditions - and when this happens illness can result.
By inserting the needles into the channels of energy the acupuncturist stimulates the body's own healing response and so helps to restore its natural balance.
During treatments acupuncture needles will be inserted into the skin and left for between 10 and 30 minutes. The needles used are very thin and do not feel the same as an injection when they go in.
You just feel a quick tap as they are inserted, but little sensation of this being a needle.
We need more detail information about your symptoms and hope you will be getting good in condition.
If you have any question, call(213-389-3003) or come to the green herbal clinic(www.ntoxdiet.com), please.
