Qi… so, what is Qi?
Qi is a basic concept in Chinese medicine and it’s what we assess in acupuncture.
Qi is the life force of our body. It’s a bit like the wind you can’t see it, but it exists and you can feel its effects.
Sometimes we explain Qi as energy, or even like oxygen something the body needs to function properly.
When someone has health issues, we often say there’s an imbalance in their Qi.
Acupuncture works by helping to rebalance Qi, supporting the body so it can function better and restore health.
