"Tao gave birth to One,
One gave birth to Two,
Two gave birth to Three,
Three gave birth to all the myriad things.
All the myriad things carry the Yin on their backs
and hold the Yang in their embrace,
Deriving their vital harmony from
the proper blending of the two vital breaths."
-Tao Teh Ching
Quality Acupuncture in Austin, TX
Acupuncture is an ancient medical system that focuses on the unity and balance between yin and yang, two essential substances in the body. It seeks to harmonize the mind, body and spirit by unblocking the flow of qi, (pronounced "chi") in the body. Qi is said to to be a sort of energy that travels through a complex web of pathways which connects to the organ systems and is tapped into by accessing points on the surface of the body.
Many diseases arise as a result of stagnated qi or weak defensive qi. In many cases, when people experience such symptoms as headaches, body aches, allergies, digestive problems, or trouble sleeping, the cause is diagnosed as a stagnation or vacuity of qi. By regulating the flow of qi and blood in the body, acupuncture may serve to tonify or unblock specific organ systems and therefore strengthen the body's overall defenses.
