“The law of yin and yang is the natural order of the universe, the foundation of all things, mother of all changes, the root of life and death”

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a method of sending a signal to the body (by needle or other means) to “turn on” its own self-healing or regulatory mechanisms. It restores the homeostatic balance by a differential effect of suppressing hyperfunction, stimulating hypofunction and regulating disturbed function. Acupuncture treats disease states or illnesses, bringing them into homeostasis or balance.

All disease can be described in terms of loss of qi


Qi (pronounced “chi”)

Life energy, called “qi”, flows throughout the body within specific pathways, or “meridians”.  This vital force circulates as a result of opposite forces—yin and yang—that are continuously seeking a dynamic balance. Illness results when the life force is obstructed or when the polar principles become imbalanced.

If you injure a nerve to a part of the body, you destroy its qi. That part of the body will become hypersensitive. Pain is a blockage of qi.

 Vital Energetic Alignment

Spirit-mind-body: when in the same alignment—health.

Imbalance can be due to:

  • severe emotional imbalances
  • severe trauma
  • motor vehicle accident
  • sports injuries
  • industrial injuries
  • others

 Preparation for Acupuncture

  1. Take as few drugs as possible—the more drugs a person is on, the less effective acupuncture will be.
  2. Sex—do not have sex right before or after acupuncture.
  3. Mental stress—avoid. If the CNS is too busy taking care of other problems, it will not be able to deal with the problem at hand. Learn Tapping.
  4. Physical exertion—not good to have acupuncture right after

 Other Factors that Influence Acupuncture Effects 

  1. Menstruation
  2. Storms—the system is busy adjusting to the environment.
  3. Concurrent illnesses
  4. Instability of condition—ICU, severely ill

 Response Patterns to Acupuncture

1. Crescendo—effect starts out improved, then gets better over time.

2. Biphasic—first feel a little worse, then much better

3. Healing crisis—overloaded neural circuit
