The fundamental principle of Neijing acupuncture is to restore health by regulating the channel system's circulatory pathways.  The channels are blood vessel networks that link and communicate with each organ.   There are 12 channel systems in the human body, each named after its respective organ.   The purpose of the channel system is to provide nutrients to the organs and tissues along its pathway. Illnesses occur when the channels are obstructed; as a result, the organs do not receive proper nutrients leading to dysfunctions in the organ and circulatory systems.  Impaired channel function results from improper diet, lack of sleep, trauma, lack of exercise, overworking or extending oneself, exposure to toxic chemicals, environmental factors, and mental stress.  When a channel is blocked the first symptom is pain and discomfort.  At Medina Wellness in New York City we combine acupuncture treatments with cupping and bodywork to eliminate pain and illnesses.  These therapies are most effective at removing channel obstructions and promoting circulation to diseased areas.

Neijing acupuncture can effectively treat the whole body and treat several chronic conditions at the same time. This is accomplished by treating the body as a whole system rather than segmented parts.  To learn more please watch our video About Neijing in the Meet Jeffrey section.
