3.Acupuncture is an ancient form of treating disease via needles. In China, acupuncture is a way of fixing illness by manipulating ‘chi’ (or ‘qi’) energy: vital energy, or the ‘life force.’ Chi energy is related to the centuries old Taoist philosophy: that the universe was originally created out of chaos, but split into two opposing forces: yin, and yang; elemental forces such as light/dark, male/female, present in all things and mutually dependent upon one another. In the Chinese system of health, the challenge is in maintaining the balance between yin and yang, thereby preventing illness.
No one understands how chi energy works, and the ways by which the Chinese go about manipulating Chi energy bears no resemblance to nerve charts such as we have in the West. The Chinese method of healing involves, therefore, a different geography of the body than Westerners are accustomed to.
That said, acupuncture has also become a popular alternative therapy here in the West, and acupuncture is even covered under some health insurance plans.
But do you think that it is necessary to understand the underlying philosophy of Chinese medicine for acupuncture to ‘work’?
