TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE and ACUPOINT TREASURE Presented by Dr. John Soliven-Llaguno NMD, HD Acupuncture: Ancient Treatment for Modern Illnesses Acupuncture: Ancient Treatment for Modern Illnesses Chinese medicine dates back nearly 3 thousand years, and entered the United States in the 1700’s, but only became well known in the mid 1970’s. Chinese medical theory is founded in the concept of yin-yang. Yin is considered feminine energy and yang masculine energy. Principles of Chinese Medicine Chinese medicine works to balance the chi (chee) energy in the body. Chinese medicine seeks to keep the body’s female (yin) and male (yang) energies balanced. The goal of each treatment is to increase depleted yin or yang or to eliminate excess yin or yang. What is Chi? Chi is translated as “life force energy” or “life activity.” Chinese medicine believes that health is a function of a balanced, harmonious flow of chi and that illness results when there is a blockage or imbalance in the flow of chi. Chi flows through energetic pathways called meridians. Illnesses, Pain, and Disease From a TCM Health Perspective • Qi nourishes your entire body • When the flow of Qi is disrupted, Illnesses, pain and disease can occur • An acupuncturist detects and corrects an imbalance of Qi • Therapeutic techniques restore the proper quality, quantity, balance and flow of Qi • When Qi is balanced and flowing throughout your body, there is health! WHAT IS YIN AND YANG? •Yang, represented by the white in the symbol, stands for the creative principle, while Yin, represented by the black, is dissolution and return (to creation). •The Yin & Yang forces are believed to be cyclical, moving and evolving into each other, represented by the white dot on the black yin side of the symbol, and by the black dot on the white yang side.

Meridians are invisible lines where the chi (life energy) flows. (They are like veins on subtle body). Different meridians correspond with specific organs or organ systems The body has been mapped with these meridians that pass through organs or organ systems Meaning of symptoms According to Chinese Medicine Symptoms are seen as signs of trouble somewhere in the flow of energy (chi) Symptoms are seen as a part of a larger picture or pattern affecting the whole person MERIDIANS • Acupuncture is based on the theory of meridians. • This theory says that the human Chi (vital energy) and the human blood circulate in the body by a system of channels which is called meridians. • By stimulating certain points on the body reached by needles, the Chi can flow and the body diseases are treated. • These stimulation points are called Acupuncture points.
