Philosophy and Approach
Acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been practiced for over 2,000 years. It's focusing on balance, harmony, and the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Core Philosophy
1. Qi (Chi): Life Energy
Qi is the vital life force that flows through the body via meridians (energy pathways).
Good health is believed to come from a balanced, smooth flow of Qi.
Illness or pain is seen as a result of blocked or imbalanced Qi.
2. Yin and Yang Balance
Yin and Yang are opposite but complementary forces (e.g., hot/cold, light/dark, active/rest).
Acupuncture seeks to restore harmony between these forces when they're imbalanced.
3. The Five Elements
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are used to understand how internal organs and systems relate.
Each person has a unique constitution and energy pattern influenced by these elements.
