The body is a complex organism. Science is still baffled by many of it's intricacies. The culture of the east has a long and established theory or philosophy on the metabolism of our being. This is rooted in the concept of YIN & YANG. This theory of Yin & Yang is utilised with the application of acupuncture.
By maintaining homeostasis [balance, equilibrium] our bodies will function to it's optimum performance.
During our daily routines however, we find our bodies exposed or subjected to many forces. These can include; pathogenic factors, mental and emotional stress, physical damage and stressors, environmental changes, pollutants and poisons.

All of these variables upset or change the fine balance our bodies need to maintain a healthy being. When an imbalance occurs it would be like a dam being placed across a stream which has a healthy ecosystem. Now, behind the dam the water backs up and begins to flood all the terrain and obscures the profile of the landscape. Below the dam, the stream becomes dry. The fish and the lush plants die, the bed cracks and the animals move away to another water supply.

The skilled acupuncturist has to determine where the blockage is and more importantly what has caused it. With the subtle and judicious placement of the needles the flow of the stream can be restored.
Because the human body is such a finely made and balanced organism we don't need to attack it with great explosive devices to remove the dam. We need to gently remove it, rock by rock and stick by stick. Otherwise, there would be a huge flood and everything downstream would be pushed out to sea.
This gentle approach is typical of the Classical Style of acupuncture practiced at
