The Fundamentals of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture Essentials
Acupuncture encourages the body to heal naturally and to function better. It works by placing sterilized, stainless-steel needles—as thin as a human hair—into specific points near or on the skin's surface. These points can influence a range of biochemical and physiological conditions, helping to address many different illnesses.
Traditional Chinese Medicine sees each person as an energy system in which body and mind are unified, each continually influencing and balancing the other. Western medicine tends to isolate and separate a disease from the person, whereas Chinese Medicine takes a holistic approach that treats the whole individual.
Your practitioner will reach a Chinese medical diagnosis after a thorough examination and consultation. The exam includes assessing the pulse and tongue. Once a diagnosis is established, your acupuncturist will select the most suitable acupuncture points for treatment.
Qi — The foundation of Oriental medicine is the belief that a life energy, called "Qi" (pronounced chee), flows through the body. This energy travels along channels known as meridians that connect all of our major organs. In Chinese medical theory, illness occurs when the cyclical flow of Qi in the meridians becomes unbalanced or blocked.
Acupuncture points are areas of designated electrical sensitivity that have proven effective in treating specific health problems. The Chinese have mapped these points over a period of more than 2000 years.
