Acupuncture
is a traditional Chinese medical technique for unblocking chi (ch'i
or qi) by inserting needles at particular points on the body to balance
the opposing forces of yin and yang. Chi is an energy that allegedly
permeates all things. It is believed to flow through the body along
12 main pathways called meridians. When yin and yang are in harmony,
chi flows freely within the body and a person is healthy. When a person
is sick, diseased, or injured, there is an obstruction of chi along
one of the meridians. Traditional Chinese medicine has identified some
500 specific points where needles are to be inserted for specific effects.
Acupuncture has been practiced in China for more than 2,000 years (though
some think it has been around for 4,000 years).
