Yin and Yang
Yin and yang indicate a number of associations, that shape opposite pairs together. They are the terms for both poles, that we find in all things. Yin and yang are in a dynamic interaction: when yin increases, yang decreases. When the dynamics reach the turning point, yang increases and yin decreases. This interplay produces the stability and continuity of things.
Qi
Qi is an elementary principle of chinese culture, not just in medicine.
1. Qi has numerous implications: vapor, air, breath, influence, corporal perception, feeling, function, life force, energy.
2. Similar concepts are the greek pneuma, the indian prana, the tibetan Lung as well as the hebrew ruach.
3. Medical definition: Qi is the elemental experience of being alive. Through its effect and function (see above) it can be experienced and proven indirectly.
4. Medical-pathologic significance: a disorder in qi describes the most common disorder: the functional disorder.
Acupuncture is
- a part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) developed by Chinese physicians many thousand years ago. It‘s based on needling techniques and a deep understanding of what a human beeing is!
- a traditional, phenomenological approach as well as scientific evidence.
Is acupuncture only a tool?
It is a different approach to seeing an illness – that is, the patient is seen in the context of their individual clinical signs and symptoms and circumstances. Its philosophy is to realize the human being in a holistic way („body-mind-medicine“).
