An Shen

An Shen translates as "Calm(ing) Spirit" and is the name given to a method of treatment that calms the mind and frees the body of pain.

This name is particularly appropriate as acupuncture helps with and alleviates many physical symptoms, whilst restoring a sense of calm and ease. It describes both the practice and the practitioner.
