The acupuncture is developed on the basis of an assumption that the life energy of the body, which is called as Qi will flow through your body, thereby by protecting from several diseases, pain and illness. This assumption also states that lack of exercise, poor diet, trauma and stress can interrupt the energy in your body, which can result in infertility. The needles that are placed on different points of your body will help to release energy. Most of the practitioners assume that releasing the positive energy can push out the negative energy from your body.

The patient is required to lie still during the treatment and especially when the needles are placed. Every section in the treatment takes at least thirty minutes to complete.
