Acupuncture is Chinese
medicine that has been practiced for over 5000 years. Simply,
acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into specific points on
the body’s surface in order to control function of the body. It is
based on the theory that energy known as Qi (pronounced chee) flows
along channels, or pathways throughout the body. Because Qi controls
one’s emotional, physical and mental aspects of life, when it is
hindered or unbalanced, one’s health may be affected.
Qi
consists of two portions, yin and yang. These are opposite forces, but
work mutually when balanced. It must be remembered that yin and yang
are complementary and not contradictory. Nor is one regarded as
“good” and the other “bad”. Rather a harmony is sought between
them. If these are thrown out of equilibrium discomfort and disease
occur. Acupuncture works by restoring this balance.
