Acupuncture theories

   Basic acupuncture theory lies within the ancient philosophy of Taoism. The Taoists believed that the universe can be described by the dualistic concept of yin and yang. All matter is made of yin and yang, including every part of the human body. The concept of yin is described as that which is dark, cold, moist, yielding, negative in polarity and feminine. The concept of yang is described as that which is warm, dry, dominant, positive in polarity and masculine.

Although yin and yang are opposite in nature, it is their ability to interact and balance each other that creates a dynamic interplay what we can health. All diseases or conditions can be classified as either yin or yang in nature due to an imbalance of one or the other. An example of a yin disease would be a chronic, long-standing degenerative condition such as cancer. An example of a yang disease would be an acute condition of short duration such as flu or sore throat.
