Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body. This process stimulates movement of energy within the body, allowing natural healing to take place. Acupuncture helps to prevent illness by improving the overall functioning of the body’s immune and organ systems. Homotoxicology was formulated by Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, MD, in 1952. Combining his knowledge of classical homeopathy with modern medical science, he created a synthesis that provides a bridge between homeopathy and conventional medicine.
