Acupuncture is more than just needles. âQiâ is roughly pronounced âcheeâ, and is the Chinese name for a concept that exists not only in Chinese medicine, but in other types of eastern whole medicine systems as well.Qi is what makes up our bodyâs fundamental consitution.here are over a thousand known acupuncture points on the body. The connections between the acupuncture points ensure that there is an even circulation of qi, a balance between Yin and Yang. When illness or disease occurs, it points to an imbalance between Yin and Yang.
Acupuncture is a component of the health care system of China that can be traced back at least 2,500 years.The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow (Qi) through the body that are essential for health.Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease.cupuncture may, it has been theorized, correct imbalances of flow at identifiable points close to the skin. The practice of acupuncture to treat identifiable pathophysiological (disease) conditions in American medicine was rare until the visit of President Richard M. Nixon to China in 1972.
