Yin Yang in Acupuncture

Chuang Tzu:

Everything can be a "that" every thing can be a "this". Therefore, "that" comes from "this" and "this" comes from "that" - which means "that" and "this" bird give to one another. When there is no more Separation between "that" and "this", it is called being one with the TAO.

Everything in the universe (macro cosmos) with all its contents (micro cosmos) has the nature or characteristics that are grouped in a mix of the two groups, namely: against one form but the whole unit in a harmonious balance & dynamic.

Yin: all things that are more passive, weak, quiet, down, dark, female, cold and negative;
Yang: all things which are more active, strong, hard, up, light, male, warm and positive;

Use of Yin Yang In General

Human unity is the result of the Yin and Yang.
Yin Yang should be balanced during the life, the human will be healthy.
Yin Yang in body balanced with Yin Yang in the natural, the people will be healthy.
When Yin Yang body not balanced with Yin Yang natural or Yin body and Yang body is not balanced, then the man is sick.

If Yin and Yang is no balance my body will be sick. One of the main aims of the acupuncturist is to maintain a balance of yin and yang within the whole person to prevent illness occurring and to restore existing health. Acupuncture is a yang therapy because it moves from the exterior to the interior. Herbal and nutritional therapies, on the other hand, are yin therapies, as they move from the interior throughout the body. Many of the major organs of the body are classified as yin-yang pairs that exchange healthy and unhealthy influences.

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is one of the traditional techniques (Traditional Chinese Medicine) to provide stimulus to the point - a point on the surface of the body (cupoints). Excitation is carried out by using a needle pricking to activate chi / qi / vital energy.

In addition to the needle pricking, excitation can also be done with the heating rod with the moxa, we called is a moxibation, or stimulation with using hand tools or other known as akupresur. Stimulation aims to restore balance in the body so that the flow of chi / qi can flow smoothly because the concept is sickness in Acupuncture according to the imbalance of Yin and Yang in the body.

Acupuncture points (acupoints) located on the meridian line (jing luo) where chi / qi flowing in the meridian line. There are 12 pairs of prime meridian and 8 pairs special meridian. To the twelve main meridian is the meridian Lung, Colon, Stomach, Spleen, Heart, Small Intestine, Bladder, Kidney, Pericardium, San Jio, Gall Bladder and Liver.

Meridian of this organ network senses, the top and bottom, outside and inside in the body. In addition to the channel as chi / qi, according to the theory of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) meridian channel also serves as a source of disease from outside the body into the human body, as a channel to patologic organ in the body and the media to therapy and diagnosis.

In line with the motto Back To Nature, this community has been increasingly utilized to overcome Acupuncture/ treat diseases / health problems faces. Such as sinusitis, tinitus, high blood pressure / low, diabetes, insomnia, paralysis, asthma, neuralgia trigeminus, painful menstruation, and so on. In fact, WHO has recommended dozens of diseases that effective use Acupuncture Therapy.
In addition to the complaints of disease, Acupuncture also used for beauty (Cosmetic Acupuncture) and also used in the field of sport (Sport Acupuncture) to enhance sports performance and injury from the sport. Cosmetic Acupuncture is used to reduce body weight (body Slimming), the whelk, tighten breast, the black and wrinkling on the face, etc.

To achieve optimal healing results, treatment Acupuncture not be done only once. Necessary continuity in treatment. Frequency therapy usually 2 - 3x/week, depending on the weight light disease suffered. Therapy length of approximately 20-30 minutes. At the time of needle pricking Acupuncture, the patient will feel the pain sensation, such as Baal bitten ant at the time of the right needle point Acupuncture, after that the patient will feel comfortable and relax.
Well, if you have any health problems that are not cured or want to beautify themselves, why do not have one to try Acupuncuture Therapy.
