Acupuncture in New York
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is an effective natural treatment for many conditions and diseases. Prior to the introduction of Western medicine into Asia, acupuncture and herbal medicine were used to treat every illness. While many people think of acupuncture for pain conditions, thousands of years of practice have led to the development of effective treatments for illnesses effecting all systems of the body.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine use a distinct language and unique terminology to categorize patterns of disease and to determine appropriate treatment. This language is much different from conventional medical terminology and, though they have many words in common, terms in Chinese medicine should not be interpreted as meaning the same thing in conventional medicine. Though a patient with insomnia, for example, may be described in Chinese medicine as having a Heart Blood Deficiency, this does not imply that they have a heart condition in the conventional sense.

”…there is an intimate relationship between the activity and life of human beings and their natural environment. The root of all life is yin and yang: this includes everything in the universe with heaven above and earth below…”
-from The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine, an original acupuncture text, c. 3000 BC.
