                    What is Acupuncture?

                    Oriental medicine is the oldest, professional, continually practiced medicine in the world. This                                            medical system's written literature stretches back almost 3,000 years and archeological evidence                                               of acupuncture extends back as far as 4,000 years ago. Oriental medicine works by                                                reestablishing, building and balancing the body's life force energy known as "Qi" (Pronounce                                                   'chi') which runs along the body's energy pathway or meridians. The acupuncture meridians are                                                like the river and streams that transverse the countryside with definite purpose and direction. The                                 acupuncture points themselves are actual portals linking the physical body to the more subtle,                                          luminous, energetic fields, Traditional Chinese Medicine views disease as the result of an                                imbalance or blockage of body's natural energy flow, such imbalances may manifest in physical,                                      emotional and stress related disorders, often presenting with vague states of exhaustion and
                    generalized poor health for which there is no clear medical explanation. The objective is to restore                                   harmony between the five element of fire, earth, metal, water and wood; between Qi, blood, and                                          body fluids; and between the equal and opposite qualities of "YIN" and "YONG", YIN is                                          characterized by receptivity, tranquility, darkness, moisture and contraction - while YONG                                            represents the aggressive principal such as light, heat, dryness, and expansion. Both YONG and                                             YIN literally mean the sunny and shady side of the mountain and the interplay between light and                                      darkness, without which we would be unable to contrast and experience either.
 

                    How is Acupuncture working for you?

                    Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical technique for unblocking chi (chi or qi) by inserting                                         needles at particular points on the body to balance the opposing forces of yin yang. Chi is an energy                                         that allegedly permeates all things. It is believed to flow through the body along 14 main pathways                                         called meridians. When yin and yang are in harmony, chi flows freely within the body and person is                                    healthy. When a person is sick, diseased, or injured, there is an obstruction of chi along one of the                                 meridians. Traditional Chinese medicine has identified some 500 specific points where needles are to                                        be inserted for specific effects.
