  • features April 21,1999 linian Poking Holes in Yourself for Health by Andrea Ford Licensed Acupuncturist Chinese Medicine is a complete system of that was developed over thousands of years of clinical use, and proposes to be able to treat every human ailment. Chinese Medical practitioners believe that people are made of a "life force energy," called Ch'i (or qi), which becomes depleted or off-balance during each person's lifetime. The depletion of Ch'i occurs due to overwork, stress, abuse of any kind, accidents, extreme emotions, poor relationships, poor diet, lack of exercise, and any other difficulty one might encounter. All of these things take a toll on our bodies, minds, and spirits, creating a weakened state of being. Chinese Medical practitioners evaluate each patient according to his or her particular stresses. Through the use of a combination of acupuncture, herbs, exercise, and dietary and lifestyle counseling, Chinese Medical practitioners assist their patients in rebalancing and strengthening the flow of energy in body, mind, and spirit. Acupuncture uses hair-thin needles inserted just below the skin at specific points to shift and stimulate the energy in the patient's body. The sensation of the needling is often compared to the intensity of a mosquito bite. Treatment is done once or twice a week for several weeks or months in order to train the energy to flow in a more balanced pattern. Chinese Medicine is most effective when regularly practiced as a preventive measure. Patients who regularly use Chinese Medicine require few treatments to maintain good health. If, on the other hand, the patient waits until minor complaints develop into major illnesses, the treatment can take many months to be effective. A 1995 survey conducted by the Tra ditional Acupuncture Institute of Columbia, Md., found that 90% of the more than 500 acupuncture patients surveyed reported a "disappearance" or "improvement" of symptoms after treatment. The patients reported improvements in physi- photo courtesy of Andrea With acupuncture, Chinese Medical Practitioners assist their patients in rebalancing and strengthening the flow of energy in body, mind, and spirit.
