TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY Acupuncture
Originating in China thousands of years ago, acupuncture and moxibustion are one of the oldest Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) procedures. TCM includes a refined theory that all bodily functions are interconnected and must be examined as one energetic system. This paradigm is a very powerful metaphor representing the entirety of the body's regulatory mechanisms. Acupuncture therapy aims to resolve imbalances by stimulating acupoints that correct circulation through the bodies regulatory pathways. Daoism, Yin-Yang Theory, the I Ching and the 5 Phases theory are the principal traditional philosophies that differentiate well being and disease and guide TCM practice.
In today’s scientific world, contemporary medical research is also bringing forward powerful new additions and insights to the analogies of this traditional medicine. Live Hand Acupuncture strives to use best of classical and contemporary theory.
