Chinese medicine describes human physiology and psychology in terms of qi, a vital energy that circulates through energy channels called meridians.
Chinese medicine uniquely relates specific mental and physical functioning to corresponding meridians.
Qi balance is described in terms of yin and yang, which represent opposing qualities of energy. Human beings are considered healthy when the qi circulating in each meridian is balanced regarding yin and yang, sufficient in amount, and moving freely in the correct direction.
Acupuncture, one of the major treatment modalities of Chinese medicine, is the oldest and most commonly used medical procedure in the world.
Acupuncture has been used alone or integrated with Western medicine to treat a variety of psychiatric conditions, such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, pain, and addiction. There is ample scientific literature to support the use of acupuncture.
