1. A Chinese Medical diagnosis which may use the word qi.
2. Qi is the basic energy that allows your body to function. Every organ in the body has qi so it can be low in one organ and high in others. Another way to look at qi is that it is the air and blood in our bodies that we use to keep everything alive and flowing. It is the balance of all of that energy that = good health.
3. A Western medicine explanation of your symptoms/condition: let's say that you are having anxiety, depression, pain, or insomnia (just as a few examples). Our central nervous system has two systems called sympathetic and parasympathetic of which you are either in one or the other. You are either in fight or flight (S) or rest and digest (Para). Either your blood and energy are flowing to the core or to your extremities according to how much stress you are experiencing.
4. How can you tell which one you're in? The feeling of fight or flight is when a bear is chasing you … or at least it used to be. Now that feeling of fight or flight may be caused by our boss, our bills, our credit card debt, our commute, etc. So when you get that feeling that you want to run away but you can't, that's when your body continues to circulate the hormones that create chronic stress and that takes energy away from your center, your organ systems, and creates symptoms or conditions.
5. When you are in pain, emotional stress, or having a symptom that won't go away, it may be because of the way your body is out of balance. Acupuncture has the ability to redirect your breath and blood flow to your center, to your core to improve and maintain your overall health. Acupuncture treats the root cause AND retrains your body to be able to stay in rest and digest more often than fight or flight where symptoms are created.
Because I treat the root of your issues, many of your symptoms will go away even if I don't treat the actual symptom. Treating the symptom is like trying to catch the steam from a boiling pot when the "root" cause of the steam is the heat. Turn off the heat.
