Acupoint Injection Therapy
Acupoint Injection Therapy (APIT), also know as biopuncture, is the injection of sterile solutions such as homeopathic medicine, vitamins, or herbal medicine, into acupuncture points or “ashi” trigger points to promote health and wellness and prevent disease. Developed in China in the 1950’s, APIT integrates Traditional Chinese medicine with modern day techniques for a profound and immediate effect on the body.
How does APIT work?
The solution is injected into a specific acupuncture point or “ashi” trigger point, therefore, avoiding “first pass” metabolism for a rapid and immediate effect.

B3 (Niacin) plays an important role in digestion, mental health, heart health, the nervous system, maintaining healthy skin, and making a variety of hormones.
B5 (Pantothenic acid) helps healthy skin, hair, and eyes, proper functioning of the nervous system and digestive tract, and making red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body.
B6 (Pyridoxine) benefits the central nervous system and metabolism, aids in the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, maintaining normal levels of homocysteine (since high levels can cause heart problems); and supporting immune function and brain health.
