Acupuncture Formula Review CEU Training Course
Course Description

Welcome to TLCs Acupuncture Formula Review CEU training course. The purpose of
this course is to help you learn and review the highly specialized area of acupuncture
and how to identify techniques and doctrines of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM),
including acupuncture, acupressure, and qigong. According to these practices, the
body's vital energy, "qi", circulates through the body along specific interconnected
channels called meridians. Only by being properly prepared can you expect to perform
your duties safely and effectively as a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.

This CEU training course will improve the practitioner's ability and success rate in
treating both traditional organ syndromes and soft tissue problems. A knowledge of the
biomechanical aspects of the skeletal and muscular systems and how to impact them
through acupuncture will lead to faster, more effective and longer-lasting results.

Our acupuncturists Continuing Education classes are offered to licensed acupuncturists
to provide required continuing education. This CEU course is also recommended for
beginning students, people skilled in other therapeutic disciplines (e.g., acupuncture,
physical therapy, etc), or Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) needing Continuing
Education Units (CEU) to complete state licensing or recertification requirements.

Course Objectives
This CEU training course familiarizes students
with the concepts of channels and meridians and
presents a survey of the 12 primary and 8
extraordinary meridians and the various
pathways and collaterals associated with each
meridian. It also presents the traditional system of
proportional measurement combined with
anatomical landmarks as a guide for locating
points along a pathway. This course will
familiarize the student with the meridian system
and pathways as well as point locations and their
use.

The purpose of this CEU training course is to
instruct the student in the art of proper
acupuncture techniques. Also, this course will
instruct the student to perform or prescribe the
use of oriental massage, acupressure, breathing
techniques, exercise, or nutrition, including the
incorporation of drugless substances and herbs
as dietary supplements to promote health.

Upon completion of this course students will be
able to perform patient evaluations based on
Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts and
identify the correct meridian system and pathways, as well. Topics of discussion include
observations, tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, history taking and clinical note taking.

8
This course will provide 10 hours of continuing education knowledge base in systems
pathology for the mastery of acupuncture points for clinical competencies. Material in
this course will contribute to a student's ability to perform or understand:
1. To provide continuing education training in Acupuncture formulas and acupuncture
points. Acupressure/acupuncture formulas use a combination of points along energy
meridians to treat different conditions.
2. Diagnostic Studies of Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach, Spleen, Heart, Small Intestine,
Urinary Bladder, Kidney, Pericardium, Triple Warmer (aka Triple Heater), Gall Bladder,
and Liver.
3. A knowledge of the biomechanical aspects of the skeletal and muscular systems.

Gather a cup of tea and relax while completing this course. This course is
primary for professionals needing CEUs and not a comprehensive
acupuncture course. I hope you find this course a refreshing difference
from other courses you may have taken in the past.

It is crazy the current price for a pound of good tea. It cost more than most
drugs. If I would have know about this business, I would became a tea
dealer instead of an acupuncturist.

Acupuncture Introduction

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a treatment based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system of
healing that dates back thousands of years. At the core of TCM is the notion that a type
of life force, or energy, known as qi (pronounced "chee") flows through energy pathways
(meridians) in the body. Each meridian corresponds to one organ, or group of organs,
that governs particular bodily functions. Achieving the proper flow of qi is thought to
create health and wellness. Qi maintains the dynamic balance of yin and yang, which
are complementary opposites. According to TCM, everything in nature has both yin and
yang. An imbalance of qi (too much, too little, or blocked flow) causes disease. To
restore balance to the qi, an acupuncturist inserts needles at points along the meridians.
These acupuncture points are places where the energy pathway is close to the surface
of the skin.

California Acupuncture Board
According to the California Acupuncture Board, acupuncture means the stimulation of a
certain point or points on or near the surface of the body by the insertion of needles to
prevent or modify the perception of pain or to normalize physiological functions,
including pain control, for the treatment of certain diseases or dysfunctions of the body
and includes the techniques of electroacupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion.

A Little History
In China, the practice of acupuncture can perhaps be traced as far back as the stone
age, with the Bian shi, or sharpened stones. Clearer evidence exists from the 1
st

millennium BC, and archeological evidence has been identified with the period of the
Han dynasty (202 BC220 AD). Forms of it are
also described in the literature of traditional
Korean medicine where it is called chimsul. It is
also important in Kampo, the traditional medicine
system of Japan.

Recent examinations of tzi, a 5,000-year-old
mummy found in the Alps, have identified over 50
tattoos on his body, some of which are located on
acupuncture points that would today be used to
treat ailments tzi suffered from. Some scientists
believe that this is evidence that practices similar
to acupuncture were practiced elsewhere in
Eurasia during the early Bronze Age. According to
an article published in The Lancet by Dorfer et al.,
"We hypothesized that there might have been a
medical system similar to acupuncture (Chinese
Zhenjiu: needling and burning) that was practiced
in Central Europe 5,200 years ago... A treatment
modality similar to acupuncture thus appears to
have been in use long before its previously known
period of use in the medical tradition of ancient
China.

16
This raises the possibility of acupuncture having originated in the Eurasian continent at
least 2000 years earlier than previously recognized."

Acupuncture's origins in China are uncertain. The earliest Chinese medical texts (Ma-
wang-tui graves, 68 BC) do not mention acupuncture. The Chinese medical text that first
describes acupuncture is the Yellow Emperors Classic of Internal Medicine (History of
Acupuncture) Huangdi Neijing, which was compiled around 305204 B.C.

Some hieroglyphics have been found dating back to 1000 B.C. that may indicate an
early use of acupuncture. Bian stones, sharp pointed rocks used to treat diseases in
ancient times, have also been discovered in ruins; some scholars believe that the
bloodletting for which these stones were likely used presages certain acupuncture
techniques.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine

The Philosophy of the Dao
Dao is often described as "the path" or "the way of life" in Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) and acupuncture, just as its counterpart in ancient India, Ayurveda. The laws of
the Dao advocate moderation, living in harmony with nature and striving for balance.
Ancient Chinese believed that moderation in all areas of life is essential to a long and
fruitful life. We are "fueled" by three treasures: Qi or Chi (pronounced chee), Shen, and
Jing. Chi is energy or vital substance, Shen is the spirit, and Jing is our essence. Qi is
both the life force (or vital substance) and the organizing principle flowing through all
things and establishing their interconnectedness. The Chinese believe that every living
thing (both human and non-human) has qi. In the body, qi is found in the heart and lungs
in circulating blood and oxygen. Shen is the treasure that gives brightness to life and is
responsible for consciousness and mental abilities. Sometimes it is compared to soul.

Within the individual, Shen is manifested in personality, thought, sensory perception, and
the awareness of self. Jing is responsible for growth, development and reproduction.
Jing represents a person's potential for development (comparable to the Western
concept of genetical inheritance). The Chinese believe that everyone is born with a finite
amount of Jing. As we go through life, we lose or consume our Jing little by little. Once
we lose Jing, it cannot be replaced; it is gone forever. We lose Jing if we live a wrong or
careless life, but Jing can be preserved if we live in moderation. Acupuncture can reduce
the loss of Jing.

San Jiao
The San Jiao () is a traditional Chinese medical (TCM) concept of a functional
organ that is not found outside of TCM (see Zang Fu theory). San Jiao has been
translated as "triple heater," "triple warmer," and "triple burner," the latter of which is
probably favored because of the involvement of the San Jiao in metabolism (burner
meaning "metabolizer"). Like most other organs, the San Jiao has a meridian named for
it which is also a reflection of the energetic health of the organ. The Triple Warmer
Meridian is located from the fingernail of the ring finger, up the outside center of the
hand and arm, behind the top of the shoulder but above the shoulder blade, up the neck
to behind the ear, then up and around the base of the ear to the top & front, then on the
outer tip of the eyebrow.


17
In TCM theory, the San Jiao is a yang organ paired with the pericardium which is the yin
organ associated with it. Yang organs are typically hollow, whereas yin organs are more
solid. The triple burner, however, is said to be primarily energetic and does not have a
physical component, unlike all the other organs in TCM. The San Jiao occupies the trunk
of the body, in three compartments (hence the "triple" in its name). The upper
compartment is the chest down to the diaphragm - which is associated with respiration.
The middle compartment is from the diaphragm to the umbilicus - which is associated
with digestion.

The lower compartment is from the umbilicus to the top of the pubic bone - which is
associated with elimination. However, in dissecting a body, one would not be able to find
a structure that could be called the San Jiao.

The San Jiao is said to be a metabolism mechanism similar to an old-fashioned water
wheel that is turned by incoming water and creates energy for accomplishing a task,
such as grinding grain in the case of the water wheel, or for metabolizing and digesting
food in the case of the San Jiao. The San Jiao is closely associated with the spleen
functions of transformation and transportation, particularly the metabolism of incoming
food. The San Jiao is also closely associated with the kidney's function in TCM. The San
Jiao, however, is not limited to one metabolism function as the spleen or kidneys are, but
is a general metabolizer which can be applied to a variety of metabolism needs.


18
Acupuncture Traditional Theory

Chinese medicine is based on a different paradigm from scientific biomedicine. Its theory
holds the following explanation of acupuncture:

Acupuncture treats the human body as a whole that
involves several "systems of function." These systems
are in some cases loosely associated with (but not
identified on a one-to-one basis with) physical organs.
Some systems of function, such as the "triple heater"
(San Jiao, also called the "triple burner") have no
corresponding physical organ, but instead represent the
various jiaos (or levels) of the ventral body cavity (upper,
middle and lower).

Disease is understood as a loss of balance between the
yin and yang energies, which bears some resemblance
to homeostasis among the several systems of function,
and treatment of disease is attempted by modifying the
activity of one or more systems of function through the
activity of needles, pressure, heat, etc. on sensitive parts
of the body of small volume traditionally called
"acupuncture points" in English, or "xue" (, cavities) in Chinese. This is referred to in
TCM as treating "patterns of disharmony".


19
Chinese Phonetics and Understanding the Language

Pinyin is a Chinese system for transliterating Mandarin Chinese into 25 European
characters (the letter v is not included).

In Chinese, each character corresponds to one syllable (which corresponds to a part of
an English word, and entire word or more than one word). Chinese syllables consist of
three elements: initial sound, final sound and tone. The initial sounds are consonants
and the final sounds contain at least one vowel. Some syllables consist only of an initial
sound or a final sound.

Note that "c", "ch", "j", "q", "r", "sh", "x", "z" and "zh" are spelt differently.

In Chinese (Mandarin) there are 21 initial sounds: b, c, ch, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s,
sh, t, x, z, zh

In Chinese (Mandarin) there are 35 final sounds:

6 simple finals: a, e, i, o, u,

13 compound finals: ai, ao, ei, ia, iao, ie, iou, ou, ua, uai, e, uei, uo

16 nasal finals: 8 front nasals: an, en, ian, in, uan, an, uen, n
8 back nasals: ang, eng, iang, ing, iong, ong, uang, ueng

Additional syllables in Mandarin Chinese: 5 special cases: er, hm, hng, ng, ~r

The initial and final sounds make a total of 56 basic sounds. Combinations of initials and
finals plus the special cases result in 411 possible combinations. Applying the four tones
of Mandarin Chinese to this, we get a total of around 1,600 unique syllables.

Tones in Chinese (Mandarin)
In Chinese (Mandarin) there are four tones:
The 1st tone is marked with a line ("a" + "
-
" = ""). This is a high, even and
constant tone.
The 2nd tone is marked with a rising line ("a" + "" = ""). This is a rising tone that
grows stronger.
The 3rd tone is marked with a hook ("a" + "
v
" = ""). This tone is first falling and
fading, then rising and growing strong.
The 4th tone is marked with a falling line ("a" + "`" = ""). This is a quickly falling
and fading tone.
Tone markings are written over the central vowels in most syllables. Some
syllables have no specific tone, and then no sign is put above any vowel.

In Chinese it is always very important to pronounce words with correct tone. In
transliterated Chinese.

20

There is no Chinese alphabet in the sense we understand it in the West. Chinese
characters are not letters (with some exceptions), Chinese characters represent an idea,
a concept or an object. While in the west each of the letters of our alphabet represents a
sound that generally has no particular meaning.

In modern Chinese there is a set of more than 400 syllables, made of two elements: an
initial, the sheng and a final the yun. The first part, the sheng is the consonant that
begins a syllable. The sheng is followed by a yun that is usually a vowel. The Chinese
computerized fonts for words processor include 6500 characters for the simplified form.

These are different Chinese symbols:

Chinese, by contrast, uses pictographs or ideographs. Here, each Chinese symbol
represents an object, concept or idea.

Single Chinese characters may represent many concepts. Take the number "1" for
example. It is one of the simplest characters possible but can mean one, unit, once,
alone, whole, all etc. For this reason, it is common for Chinese words to consist of two
characters, in order to clarify the exact meaning. An example would be , meaning rat
or mouse. By adding the character for "old" in front of it, , the meaning is
unambiguously changed to "mouse"

General Acupuncture and Related Information

How Does Acupuncture Work?
Historically, acupuncture points were believed to be holes that allow entry into channels.
These holes provide us gateways to influence, redirect, increase, or decrease the body's
vital substance, qi, thus correcting many of the imbalances. Many studies and research
have been directed towards understanding the mechanism of acupuncture.

Effects of Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been shown to stimulate the immune system. It also affects the
circulation, blood pressure, rhythm and stroke volume of the heart, secretion of the
gastric acid, and production of red and white cells. It stimulates the release of a variety
of hormones that help the body to respond to injury and stress.

The Gate Control Theory of Pain
According to this theory, pain signals must pass through a number of high-traffic "gates"
as they move from the area of injury upward through the spinal cord into the brain. Like a
road or highway, these nerves can handle only a limited number of nerve signals at one
time. The pain signals travels very slowly. We can generate other signals which move
faster. The faster signals crowd out the slower ones because of the limited capacity of
the nerves. (Imagine sitting in traffic near a construction zone, where the two lanes
merge into one. The fast cars on the merging lanes go further and merge ahead of the
slower ones, making it nearly impossible for the slow traffic on the lane to move forward.
Now, the pain signals are the slow ones sitting there waiting for an opening to move
through. If one can produce enough fast signals, it can effectively crowd out the pain
signals.) Acupuncture generates competing stimulus and effectively blocks the slow pain
signals from reaching the brain. The result: we never "experience the pain".

Electrical Theory of Pain
The body continually generates tiny but detectable electrical discharges. This electrical
field influences the growth, maturation, and functioning of some types of cells. It is
known that acupuncture points are concentrated in regions of low electrical resistance.
Studies have shown that there is a correlation between the electromagnetic fields in the
body and the channels or meridians. So, this electrical theory suggests that acupuncture
works by influencing the body's electromagnetic fields. Acupuncture points have certain
electrical properties, and stimulating these points alters chemical neurotransmitters in
the body.

Palpation
Auscultation and olfaction refer, respectively, to listening for particular sounds (such as
wheezing) and attending to body odor. Inquiring focuses on the "seven inquiries", which
are: chills and fever; perspiration; appetite, thirst and taste; defecation and urination;
pain; sleep; and menses and leukorrhea. Palpation includes feeling the body for tender
"ashi" points, and palpation of the left and right radial pulses at two levels of pressure
(superficial and deep) and three positions Cun, Guan, Chi(immediately proximal to the
wrist crease, and one and two fingers' breadth proximally, usually palpated with the
index, middle and ring fingers).


22
Other forms of acupuncture employ additional diagnostic techniques. In many forms of
classical Chinese acupuncture, as well as Japanese acupuncture, palpation of the
muscles and the hara (abdomen) are central to diagnosis.

TCM Perspective on Treatment of Disease
Although TCM is based on the treatment of "patterns of disharmony" rather than
biomedical diagnoses, practitioners familiar with both systems have commented on
relationships between the two. A given TCM pattern of disharmony may be reflected in a
certain range of biomedical diagnoses: thus, the pattern called Deficiency of Spleen Qi
could manifest as chronic fatigue, diarrhea or uterine prolapse. Likewise, a population of
patients with a given biomedical diagnosis may have varying TCM patterns. These
observations are encapsulated in the TCM aphorism "One disease, many patterns; one
pattern, many diseases". (Kaptchuk, 1982)

What Is A Cun?
The cun is a measurement relative to the patients body that is used to find acupuncture
points. Generally speaking one cun is equal to the space between the distal
interphalangeal joint and the proximal interphalangeal joint on the middle finger.
However, this cun can only be used on certain parts of the body when finding
acupuncture points - on other points you use other relative landmarks. For example, the
space from nipple to nipple is 8 cun and this 8 cun can be used to find points on the
chest - the space from the center of the patella to the lateral malleolus is 16 cun and this
16 cun can be used to find points on the legs, etc.

Clinical Practice
Classically, "in clinical practice, acupuncture treatment is typically highly-individualized
and based on philosophical constructs and subjective and intuitive impressions" and not
on controlled scientific research."

Most modern acupuncturists use disposable stainless steel needles of fine diameter
(0.007" to 0.020", 0.18 mm to 0.51 mm), sterilized with ethylene oxide or by autoclave.
These needles are far smaller in diameter (and therefore less painful) than the needles
used to give shots, since they do not have to be hollow for purposes of injection. The
upper third of each needle is wound with a thicker wire (typically bronze), or covered in
plastic, to stiffen the needle and provide a handle for the acupuncturist to grasp while
inserting. The size and type of needle used, and the depth of insertion, depend on the
acupuncture style being practiced.

Warming an acupuncture point, typically by moxibustion (the burning of a combination of
herbs, primarily mugwort), is a different treatment than acupuncture itself and is often,
but not exclusively, used as a supplemental treatment. The Chinese term zhn ju (),
commonly used to refer to acupuncture, comes from zhen meaning "needle", and jiu
meaning "moxibustion".

Moxibustion

The characters that we translate as acupuncture, zhen jui in Chinese and shinkyu in
Japanese, translate more literally as needles and moxa. From the earliest Han dynasty
texts, to complete Song dynasty treatises solely dealing with moxibustion, moxa has
been an integral part of medical practice.

Moxa is processed from the fibers inside the leaves of Mugwort (various Artemisia
species). The fibers are separated from the rest of the plant matter, allowed to bleach in
the sun, and aged for several years. They smolder when ignited, rather than burning with
a flame, and the ashes tend to tighten up, holding their shape, rather than falling apart.

The word moxa is an English approximation of the Japanese mogusha, the Mugwort
plant. The term moxibustion describes the techniques of burning moxa for therapeutic
purposes.

Moxibustion is still used in the 21
st
century to varying degrees among the schools of
oriental medicine. For example, one well known technique is to insert the needle at the
desired acupuncture point, attach dried moxa to the external end of an acupuncture
needle, and then ignite it. The moxa will then smolder for several minutes (depending on
the amount adhered to the needle) and conduct heat through the needle to the tissue
surrounding the needle in the patient's body. Another common technique is to hold a
large glowing stick of moxa over the needles. Moxa is also sometimes burned at the skin
surface, usually by applying an ointment to the skin to protect from burns, though
burning of the skin is a general practice in China.

Grades of Moxa
There are a number of grades of moxa; more refined and aged moxa burns at a lower
temperature. The highest grade is suitable for use directly on the skin of children, while
the lower grades are applied to needles or burned with a something between them and
the skin, often ginger, garlic, salt or miso paste.

Various techniques are used to apply the heat to the points. The types used most often
are thread moxa (sesame seed or rice grain size), cone moxa (smaller soybean size or
larger pyramids) or needle moxa (spheres of moxa on the top of an inserted needle).
Moxa adds warmth when Cold is a problem, creates movement when Stagnation is a
problem, and adds Qi when Vacuity is a problem.

Gua sha
In cases of the common cold or muscular pain, either cupping or gua sha may be used
to support the healing process. Gua Sha is performed by rubbing the skin with the
smooth surface of a coin, ceramic spoon or lid in areas where stuck or stagnated blood
is found to reside. Small red dots or petechiae come to the surface. The result is healthy
circulation of blood and an improvement of symptoms that is usually felt immediately.

28
Cupping
Cupping uses glass, plastic or bamboo cups that create suction when placed upon the
patients body. The technique may temporarily leave small round red marks on the skin.
Typically, the marks will clear within a few days. Similar to the technique of gua sha,
cupping can be used for many conditions including muscular pain and the common cold.

What Does an Acupuncturist Do?
In addition to asking questions, the acupuncturist may want to take your pulse at several
points along the wrist and look at the shape, color, and coating of your tongue. The
acupuncturist may also look at the color and texture of your skin, your posture, and other
physical characteristics that offer clues to your health. You will lie down on a padded
examining table, and the acupuncturist will insert the needles, twirling or gently jiggling
each as it goes in. You may not feel the needles at all, or you may feel a twitch or a
quick twinge of pain that disappears when the needle is completely inserted. Once the
needles are all in place, you rest for 15 to 60 minutes. During this time, you'll probably
feel relaxed and sleepy and may even doze off. At the end of the session, the
acupuncturist quickly and painlessly removes the needles.

For certain conditions, acupuncture is more effective when the needles are heated using
a technique known as "moxibustion" (see previous section). Another variation is
electrical acupuncture. Acupuncturists trained in Chinese herbal preparations may
prescribe herbs along with acupuncture.

29
Different Styles of Acupuncture

There are several different approaches to acupuncture. Among the most common in the
United States today are:

TCM-based acupuncture -- the most commonly practiced in the United States, it bases a
diagnosis on eight principles of complementary opposites (yin/yang, internal/external,
excess/deficiency, hot/cold).

French energetic acupuncture -- mostly used by MD acupuncturists, it emphasizes
meridian patterns, in particular the yin-yang pairs of primary meridians.

Korean hand acupuncture -- based on the principle that the hands and feet have
concentrations of qi, and that applying acupuncture needles to these areas is effective for the
entire body.

Auricular acupuncture -- this technique is widely used in treating addiction disorders. It is
based on the idea that the ear is a reflection of the body and that applying acupuncture
needles to certain points on the ear affects corresponding organs.

Myofascially-based acupuncture -- often practiced by physical therapists, it involves feeling
the meridian lines in search of tender points, then applying needles. Tender points indicate
areas of abnormal energy flow.

Japanese styles of acupuncture -- sometimes referred to as "meridian therapy," it
emphasizes needling technique and feeling meridians in diagnosis.

What is Gokavi Transverse Technique (GTT Acupuncture)?
GTT Acupuncture is a dry needling acupuncture technique combined with high frequency
electrical stimulation. It is said to be very useful in the treatment and management of chronic
myofascial pain release.

Typically, GTT Acupuncture technique involves two stages.
In stage 1, acupuncture needles are inserted in a specific transverse direction to form a
special circuit enclosing the area of pain. The needles are electrically stimulated at two
different high frequencies. The end result of this treatment is relaxation and analgesia of the
muscles involved.

The high frequency electrical stimulation activates skin and muscle receptors. The
proponents of the method propose that the high frequency electrical stimulation also causes
the midbrain to bypass the endorphin system and causes the release of serotonin and
norepinephrine. This suppresses the transmission of pain, causing an analgesic effect.

In stage 2, the dry needling is done in a transverse direction. Since the muscle is already
relaxed as a result of the treatment in stage 1, the therapist can lift the muscle and needle the
muscle through its entire thickness, releasing spasms and trigger points. Deeper layers of
muscles are accessible in this two step process than are available in conventional
acupuncture. The stage 2 treatment increases mobility and reduces the pain.


30
The transverse needling employed in GTT acupuncture is safe, reliable and effective. The
soothing pain relief obtained causes a significant improvement in patient compliance and
tolerance to the dry needling. This produces dramatic and long term effects. GTT
Acupuncture is especially effective in the treatment of patients suffering from fibromyalgia and
chronic myofascial pain.

How Many Treatments do I Need?
The number of acupuncture treatments you need depends on the complexity of your illness,
whether it's a chronic or recent condition, and your general health. For example, you may
need only one treatment for a recent wrist sprain, while a long-standing, chronic illness may
require treatments once or twice a week for several months to achieve good results.

Listed below are some general guidelines related to forming a prognosis. To discuss any of
this information, please utilize our Chinese Acupuncture Theory forum.

Organ vs. Meridian Pathology
In general, meridian imbalances take less time to treat than deeper organ imbalances.

Interior vs. Exterior Patterns
In general, exterior patterns take less time to treat than interior ones. For example, the
common cold (external wind-cold) takes less time to treat than the heat in the lung variation of
sinusitis.

Qi vs. Blood
It is generally easier to build and/or move Qi than it is to build and/or move Blood. For
example, Qi Stagnation will resolve faster than Blood Stagnation.

Deficiency vs. Excess
It is generally easier to drain an excess pathology than to build up a deficiency. Additionally, there
are variations within these broad categorizations. For example, a Yang Deficiency may take longer
to build than Qi Deficiency. On the deficiency side, Yin Deficiency may take longer to build than
Blood Deficiency.

Dampness and Phlegm
Dampness is generally considered easier to treat than Phlegm. They are both, however, slow to
move and resolve by their nature and will generally complicate other imbalances.

Lifestyle/Psycho-Emotional Factors
Conditions that have fostered certain states of imbalance (living in a damp environment, for
example) if left unresolved will generally hinder the treatments. On a psycho-emotional level, the
continued repression, over expression or over experience of certain emotional states will also
make imbalances more difficult to resolve.

Factors related to the Four Stages
The prognosis is worsened depending on the stage of disease, ranging from the Wei level, to the
Qi level, to the Ying, to the Blood.

Factors related to the Six Stages
The prognosis is worsened depending on the stage of disease, ranging from Tai Yang, to Yang
Ming, to Shao Yang, to Tai Yin, to Shao Yin, to Jue Yin.

What does Acupuncture Feel Like?
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin, metallic, and solid. People experience acupuncture differently,
but most feel minimal pain (or even none at all) as the needles are inserted. Some people are
energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed. Improper needle placement, movement of the
patient, or a defect in the needle can cause soreness and pain during treatment. This is why it is
important to seek treatment from a qualified acupuncture practitioner.

What are the needles like? Can I get infected?
In 1996 US FDA approved acupuncture needles for licensed practitioners. The FDA requires that
the needles be sterile, nontoxic, and disposed of after a single use.

Only FDA approved sterile, disposable needles should be used, and they are only used once.
These needles are carefully manufactured under the guidance of the FDA. There is no risk of
infection.

Acupuncture needles are small and hair-thin. They are solid (not hollow like the needles used by
doctors in surgery). The end of an acupuncture needle is smooth and rounded. Acupuncture
needles are not designed to cut the skin. Instead, when an acupuncture needle is inserted, the
round edge pushes the tissue aside without cutting it. Acupuncture needles are so thin it's as if
they can glide through the spaces between the individual cells of the body.

Does it (Needling or Acupuncture Process) Hurt?
People experience needling differently. Most feel no pain. Some experience minimal pain as the
needles are inserted. The needles can be quickly adjusted in the unlikely event of uncomfortable
feelings during the needling process. (Please do not hesitate to tell the practitioner if you feel
uncomfortable).

Some people experience a sensation like that of a mosquito bite that disappears very quickly.
Often people describe their sensations as warming, heavy, numb or tingling. Be comfortable and
relax while the needles are in place. The more you can relax during an acupuncture treatment, the
better the results. Some people even fall asleep during the treatment. Following treatment, it is
very common to feel a tremendous sense of relaxation and calm.

Are there any Possible Problems or Complications?
When done by a trained professional, acupuncture is generally considered safe. The number of
complications reported have been relatively few, but there is a risk that a patient may be harmed if
the acupuncturist is not well trained.

Traditional needle acupuncture can cause dizziness, fainting, local internal bleeding, convulsions,
hepatitis B, dermatitis, nerve damage, and increased pain. Punctured lungs have happened rarely
but have resulted in a few deaths. Traditional acupuncture also poses risks, such as infection from
contaminated needles or improper delivery of treatment. The risk of infection is much lower now
that acupuncturists in the United States use sterile needles that are discarded after a single use.

Those who are taking anticoagulants (blood thinners) may have bleeding problems with traditional
needle acupuncture. People with cardiac pacemakers, infusion pumps, or other electrical devices
should avoid electroacupuncture.

Relying on this type of treatment alone, and avoiding or delaying conventional medical care, may
have serious health consequences.

33
Twelve Primary Pathways

Treatment of acupuncture points may be performed along several layers of pathways, most
commonly the twelve primary pathways (meridians), located throughout the body. Other pathways
include the Eight Extraordinary Pathways Qi Jing Ba Mai, the Luo Vessels, the Divergents and the
Sinew Channels. Unaffiliated, or tender points, called "ah shi" (signifying "that's it", "ouch", or "oh
yes") are generally used for treatment of local pain. Of the eight extraordinary pathways, only two
have acupuncture points of their own. The other six meridians are "activated" by using a master
and couple point technique which involves needling the acupuncture points located on the twelve
main meridians that correspond to the particular extraordinary pathway. Ten of the primary
pathways are named after organs of the body (Heart, Liver, etc.), one is named for the serous
membrane that wraps the heart (Heart Protector or Pericardium), the last is the 'three spaces' (San
Jiao).

The pathways are capitalized to avoid confusion with a physical organ (for example, we write the
"Heart meridian" as opposed to the "heart meridian"). The two independent extraordinary
pathways Ren Mai and Du Mai are situated on the midline of the anterior and posterior aspects of
the trunk and head respectively. The twelve primary pathways run vertically, bilaterally, and
symmetrically and every channel corresponds to and connects internally with one of the twelve
Zang Fu ("organs"). This means that there are six yin and six
yang channels.

There are three yin and three yang channels on each arm, and
three yin and three yang on each leg.

The three yin channels of the hand (Lung, Pericardium, and
Heart) begin on the chest and travel along the inner surface
(mostly the anterior portion) of the arm to the hand.

The three yang channels of the hand (Large intestine, San
Jiao, and Small intestine) begin on the hand and travel along
the outer surface (mostly the posterior portion) of the arm to
the head.

The three yin channels of the foot (Spleen, Liver, and Kidney)
begin on the foot and travel along the inner surface (mostly
posterior and medial portion) of the leg to the chest or flank.

The three yang channels of the foot (Stomach, Gallbladder,
and Bladder) begin on the face, in the region of the eye, and travel down the body and along the
outer surface (mostly the anterior and lateral portion) of the leg to the foot.

The movement of qi through each of the twelve channels is comprised of an internal and an
external pathway. The external pathway is what is normally shown on an acupuncture chart and it
is relatively superficial. All the acupuncture points of a channel lie on its external pathway. The
internal pathways are the deep course of the channel where it enters the body cavities and related
Zang-Fu organs.

34
The superficial pathways of the twelve channels describe three complete circuits of the body,
chest to hands, hands to head, head to feet, feet to chest, etc.

Chinese Clock
The distribution of qi through the pathways is said to be as follows (based on the demarcations in
TCM's Chinese Clock): Lung channel of hand taiyin to Large Intestine channel of hand yangming
to Stomach channel of foot yangming to Spleen channel of foot taiyin to Heart channel of hand
shaoyin to Small Intestine channel of hand taiyang to Bladder channel of foot taiyang to Kidney
channel of foot shaoyin to Pericardium channel of hand jueyin to San Jiao channel of hand
shaoyang to Gallbladder channel of foot shaoyang to Liver channel of foot jueyin then back to the
Lung channel of hand taiyin. Each channel occupies two hours, beginning with the Lung, 3AM-
5AM, and coming full circle with the Liver 1AM-3AM.

Role of Acupuncturist in Traditional Chinese Medicine
According to the philosophy of Dao, the role of the acupuncturist is to restore your health and
enable you to live a little closer to the Dao, thus preserving your Jing and helping you live to a ripe
old age. A number of factors can contribute to the depletion of Jing. Living a life of excess, drinking
too much, excessive emotional reactions, working too hard, inappropriate sexual behavior, etc. all
are believed to result in the depletion of Jing. Balance in all things is considered the key to good
health and long life. In order to increase their understanding of the Dao, the Chinese developed
two concepts that together form the basis of Chinese thought: yin and yang and the more detailed
system of the five elements.

Daoism
The Dao De Jing, along with the Zhuangzi, is
one of the core texts of the Chinese way of
thinking known as "Daoism". This word has a
number of meanings. In early texts, Daoism is
manifest as a sophisticated view of the world
which mediates on the nature of the world.
There is a common disapproval of the
unnatural and artificial. Social convention is
rejected in favor of the ecstatic and the
immediate nature of experience.

Later on Daoism also came to signify the
large number of popular cults that exist in
China (so-called "popular Daoism"). Although
Daoism is often set in opposition to
Confucianism, both ways of thinking interact
with each other. It should also be noted that
although Ch'an Buddhism (or Zen Buddhism)
is usually seen as a variant of Mahayana
Buddhism, in many respects it draws on
Daoist ideas.

35
Channels or Meridians in Acupuncture
The Invisible Pathways of Qi

Chinese use the term "jing luo" which means, channels, conduit, meridian etc. According to
acupuncture, these are the invisible channels through which qi circulate throughout the body. The
acupuncture points (or holes as the Chinese term xue is more aptly translated means) are the
locations where the qi of the channels rises close to the surface of the body. There are 12 main
meridians, six of which are yin and six are yang and numerous minor ones, which form a network
of energy channels throughout the body.

In acupuncture, each meridian is related to, and named after, an organ or function. The main ones
are: the lung, kidney, gallbladder, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, large intestine, gall
bladder, urinary bladder, san jiao (three heater) and pericardium (heart protector/ or circulation sex
meridian).

There are also 8 extraordinary channels in acupuncture that are considered to be reservoirs
supplying qi and blood to the twelve regular channels. These are believed to have a strong
connection to the kidney. The meridians are shown in the figures.

Location of the meridians and acupoints (acupuncture points) in the body.

Dotted along these meridians are more than 400 acupuncture points, classified by WHO. (There
may be as many as 2000 points in use for different treatments.) These are listed by name, number
and the meridian to which they belong.

36
When Chi flows freely through the meridians, the body is balanced and healthy, but if the energy
becomes blocked, stagnated or weakened, it can result in physical, mental or emotional ill health.
An imbalance in a person's body can result from inappropriate emotional responses such as:
excess anger, over-excitement, self-pity, deep grief and fear. Environmental factors such as cold,
damp/humidity, wind, dryness, and heat can also cause imbalance so as factors such as wrong
diet, too much sex, overwork and too much exercise.

To restore the balance, the acupuncturist stimulates the acupuncture points that will counteract
that imbalance. So, if you have stagnant Chi, he will choose specific points to stimulate it. If the
Chi is too cold, he will choose points to warm it. If it is too weak, he will strengthen it. If it is
blocked, he will unblock it, and so on. In this way, acupuncture can effectively rebalance the
energy system and restore health or prevent the development of disease. The points that the
practitioner chooses to stimulate may not necessarily be at the site of the symptoms.

downward posterior to the ear. It then arches forward to the forehead at the midpoint of the
eyebrow, and runs above the hairline to the lateral side of the neck, where it then travels to the
highest point of the trapezium muscle. From there, it further descends to the axilla and enters the
chest. It then travels interiorly in the hypochondriac region, emerging at the lateral side of the lower
abdomen near the femoral artery in the inguinal region. Then it curves along the margin of the
pubic hair and runs transversely into the hip region. It then travels downward along the lateral side
of thigh to the lateral side of the knee. Further descending along the anterior aspect of the fibula, it

Reflexology

Reflexology promotes healing by stimulating the nerves in the body and encouraging the flow of
blood. In the process, reflexology not only quells the sensation of pain, but relieves the source of
the pain as well. Anecdotally, reflexologists claim success in the treatment of a variety of
conditions and injuries. One condition is fibromyalgia. People with this disease are encouraged to
undergo reflexology therapy to alleviate any of a number of chronic bowel syndromes associated
with the condition. Frequent brief sessions of reflexology therapy are also recommended as an
alternative to drug therapy for controlling the muscle pain associated with fibromyalgia and for
relieving difficult breathing caused by tightness in the muscles of the patient's neck and throat.
Reflexology applied properly can alleviate allergy symptoms, as well as stress, back pain, and
chronic fatigue. The techniques of reflexology can be performed conveniently on the hand in
situations where a session on the feet is not practical, although the effectiveness of limited hand
therapy is less pronounced than with the foot pressure therapy.

How does reflexology work?
There are many theories but in our approach we look at the nervous system as the explanation of
reflexology's working. Pressure sensors in the feet and hands are a part of the body's reflexive
response that makes possible the "fight or flight" reaction to danger. Feet ready to flee and hands
ready to fight communicate with the body's internal organs to make possible wither eventuality.
The sudden adrenal surge that enables a person to lift a car is an example of this reaction.

58
Reflexology taps into this reflex network, providing an exercise of pressure sensors and thus the
internal organs to which they are inextricably tied.

Preparations
In order to realize maximum benefit from a reflexology session, the therapist as well as the patient
should be situated so as to afford optimal comfort for both. Patients in general receive treatment in
a reclining position, with the therapist positioned as necessaryto work on the bare feet, or
alternately on the bare hands. A reflexology patient removes both shoes and socks in order to
receive treatment. No other preparation is involved. No prescription drugs, creams, oils, or lotions
are used on the skin.

Precautions
Reflexology is extremely safe. It may even be self-administered in a limited form whenever
desired. The qualified reflexologist offers a clear and open disclaimer that reflexology does not
constitute medical treatment in any form, nor is reflexology given as a substitute for medical advice
or treatment. The ultimate purpose of the therapy is to promote wellness; fundamentally it is a form
of preventive therapy.

People with serious and long-term medical problems are urged to seek the advice of a physician.
Diabetes patients in particular are urged to approach this therapy cautiously. Likewise pregnant
women are cautioned emphatically to avoid reflexology during the early phases of pregnancy
altogether, as accidentally induced labor and subsequent premature delivery can result from
reflexology treatment.

A consultation with a reflexologist is recommended in order to determine the safety and
appropriateness of reflexology therapy for a specific health problem or condition.

Side effects
Because reflexology is intended to normalize the body functions, the therapy does not cause a
condition to worsen. Most patients find that pain diminishes over the course of the therapy. It has
been noted, however, that some patients experience greater discomfort in the second session
than in the first session, because a significant easing of pain and tension is generally associated
with the initial therapy session. As a result, when pressure is reapplied to the tender points of the
foot during the second session, the sensitivity has been heightened. This increase in sensitivity
may cause minor additional discomfort for the patient.

59
Qigong

Qigong ( - Pinyin: qgng, Wade-Giles: ch'i kung) is an increasingly popular aspect of
Chinese medicine. Qigong is mostly taught for health maintenance purposes, but there are also
some who teach it, especially in China, for therapeutic interventions. Various forms of traditional
qigong are also widely taught in conjunction with Chinese martial arts.

There are many hundreds, if not thousands, of different styles and schools of qigong. In general,
qigong schools teach their own variations of physical training routines based on coordinating
different patterns of breathing with different physical motions of the body. Qigong relies on the
traditional Chinese belief that the body has an energy field, known as Qi. Qi means breath or to
breathe in Mandarin Chinese, and by extension the energy produced by breathing that keeps us
alive; gong means work or technique. Qigong is then "breath work" or the art of managing the
breath to achieve and maintain good health, and especially in the martial arts, to enhance the
leverage and stamina of the body in coordination with the physical process of respiration.

Attitudes toward the basis of qigong vary markedly. One view which is one taken by most Western
medical practitioners, many practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the Chinese
government views qigong simply as a set of breathing and movement exercises, with many
possible benefits to health through stress reduction and exercise. Others see qigong in more
metaphysical terms, claiming that breathing and movement exercises can influence the
fundamental forces of the universe. An extreme form of the latter view was advocated by some
participants in the Boxer Rebellion of the late 19th century who believed that breathing and
movement exercises would allow them to ward off bullets.

More on Zang-Fu
Zang-Fu theory is a concept within traditional Chinese medicine, part of the TCM model of the
body. There are five zang ( pinyin zang4 ) and six fu ( pinyin fu3
).

This theory treats each of the Zang
organs as an energy center that runs
an entire system, similar to the Hindu
chakra concept. The Zang systems
include organs, senses, emotions,
and the musculoskeletal system--
essentially, the entire person divided
into five categorical systems. Zang
organs are also known as yin
organs, and each has a Fu partner, a
yang organ (see Yin Yang). In
addition to bodily functions, each
Zang organ is the home of an aspect
of the spirit.

With a thorough understanding of either of these schools of thought, therapeutic results are
achieved accordingly. The theory is always in service of practical, therapeutic application, with the
goal of an "elegant" treatment. An elegant treatment uses the least amount of force for the
greatest therapeutic benefit, and requires true mastery of the art of traditional Chinese Medicine.

60
The five elements are associated energetically with the following Zang-Fu organs.
Wood: Liver, home of the Hun (Ethereal Soul), paired with the Gall Bladder.
Fire: Heart, home of the Shen (Aggregate Soul) paired with the Small intestine. (and
secondarily, the San Jiao or Triple burner and Pericardium).
Earth: Spleen, home of the Yi (Intellect), paired with the Stomach.
Water: Kidney, home of the Zhi (Will), paired with the Bladder.
Metal: Lung, home of the Po (Corporeal Soul), paired with the Large Intestine.

61
Yin and Yang in Acupuncture and in Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM)

The idea of harmony and balance are also the basis of yin and yang. The principle that each
person is governed by the opposing, but complementary forces of yin and yang, is central to all
Chinese thought. It is believed to affect everything in the universe, including ourselves.

Yin-Yang Symbol (Tai Chi symbol)

Traditionally, yin is dark, passive, feminine, cold and negative; yang is light, active, male, warm
and positive. Another simpler way of looking at yin and yang is that there are two sides to
everything - happy and sad, tired and energetic, cold and hot. Yin and yang are the opposites that
make the whole. They cannot exist without each other and nothing is ever completely one or the
other.

There are varying degrees of each within everything and everybody. The tai chi symbol, shown
above, illustrates how they flow into each other with a little yin always within yang and a little yang
always within yin. In the world, sun and fire are yang, while earth and water are yin. Life is possible
only because of the interplay between these forces. All of these forces are required for the life to
exist. See the table below to understand the relationship between yin and yang.

The yin and yang is like a candle. Yin represents the wax in the candle. The flame represents the
yang. Yin (wax) nourishes and supports the yang (flame). Flame needs the wax for its existence.
Yang consumes yin and, in the process, burns brightly. When the wax (yin) is gone, the flame is
gone too. Ying is also gone at that time. So, one can see how yin and yang depend on each other
for their existence. You cannot have one without the other.

The body, mind and emotions are all subject to the influences of yin and yang. When the two
opposing forces are in balance we feel good, but if one force dominates the other, it brings about
an imbalance that can result in ill health.

One can compare the concept of yin and yang to the corresponding principle of tridoshas in
Ayurveda, the ancient remedy from India. Ayurveda proposes that every person has vata, pitta and
kapha. When these are balanced, there is the state of perfect health. When there are imbalances
then there is disease.

One of the main aims of the acupuncturist is to maintain a balance of yin and yang within the
whole person to prevent illness from occurring and to restore existing health. Acupuncture is a
yang therapy because it moves from the exterior to the interior. Herbal and nutritional therapies, on
the other hand, are yin therapies, as they move from the interior throughout the body. Many of the
major organs of the body are classified as yin-yang pairs that exchange healthy and unhealthy
influences.

Yin and yang are also part of the eight principles of traditional Chinese medicine. The other six
are: cold and heat, internal and external, deficiency and excess. These principles allow the
practitioner to use yin and yang more precisely in order to bring more detail into his diagnosis.

63
Chinese Medical Theory

Chinese medical theory holds that acupuncture works by normalizing the free flow of qi (a difficult-
to-translate concept that pervades Chinese philosophy and is commonly translated as "vital
energy"), blood and body fluids (jin ye) throughout the body. Pain or illnesses are treated by
attempting to remedy local or systemic accumulations or deficiencies. Pain is considered to
indicate blockage or stagnation of the flow of qi, blood and/or fluids, and an axiom of the medical
literature of acupuncture is "no pain, no blockage; no blockage, no pain". The delicate balance
between qi and blood is of primary concern in Chinese medical theory, hence the axiom blood is
the mother of qi, and qi is the commander of blood. Both qi and blood work together to move (qi)
and to nourish (blood) the body fluids.

Arrival of the Qi
Many patients claim to experience the sensations of stimulus known in Chinese as "deqi" (,
"obtaining the qi" or "arrival of the qi"). This kind of sensation was historically considered to be
evidence of effectively locating the desired point. There are some electronic devices now available
which will make a noise when what they have been programmed to describe as the "correct"
acupuncture point is pressed.

The acupuncturist decides which points to treat by observing and questioning the patient in order
to make a diagnosis according to the tradition which he or she utilizes. In TCM, there are four
diagnostic methods: inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiring, and palpation (Cheng, 1987,
ch. 12). Inspection focuses on the face and particularly on the tongue, including analysis of the
tongue size, shape, tension, color and coating, and the absence or presence of teeth marks
around the edge.

The Five Elements in Chinese Philosophy

The yin and yang philosophy was further refined into the system of the five elements to gain a
deeper understanding of how the body, mind and spirit work in acupuncture.

The microcosm of the body is linked to the universe and is affected by
the daily and seasonal cycles of nature. (Think about the seasonal
affective disorder which manifests itself in winter or when the light is
not sufficient). The individual and the world are changing all the time.
But the Chinese believe that these changes are occurring in certain
order and in cycles. (We can think about these like our economic
cycles or agricultural cycles. A period of growth is always followed by a
period of stagnation or unemployment. In the stock market, a bull
market is always followed by a bear market etc.)

In the same way, a seed planted in spring blooms in summer, seeds
itself in late summer to autumn, dies in winter, and a new seed grows
again in spring. It is part of a never-ending cycle and each phase has
its role to play in maintaining the balance of nature.

The same process of change occurs within the body. Cells grow and die to make way for new
cells, and body systems depend upon each other in a similar way to the seasons, working together
to ensure the balanced functioning of the body, mind and spirit and the healthy flow of life through
the whole person.

64

Representation of the Five Elements

Chinese philosophy recognizes five distinct elements of cyclical change called water, wood,
fire, earth, and metal. These five elements can be related to our four seasons (with a fifth late
summer season) as shown in the table below. The elements can also be related to different colors,
emotion, taste, voice and various organs. These can also be related to the selection of food and
herbs. Notice the correspondence between the Chinese philosophy and the underlying Indian
philosophy, which also classifies everything in the universe under earth, water, fire, air, and ether.

The doctrine of five phases describes both a generating ( Sheng) cycle and an overcoming (
Ke) cycle of interactions between the phases. In the generating cycle, wood generates fire; fire
generates earth; earth generates metal; metal generates water; water generates wood. In the
overcoming cycle, wood overcomes earth; earth overcomes water; water overcomes fire; fire
overcomes metal; metal overcomes wood. The doctrine of five phases was employed in many
fields of early Chinese thought, including seemingly disparate fields such as music, medicine, and
military strategy.

Frequent urination, shortness of breath,
palpitation, insomnia

Each person's physical and mental constitution can be described as a balance of the elements in
which one or more may naturally dominate. The proportion of the elements in a person determines
his or her temperament. Oriental medicine considers the ideal condition as one in which all the five
elements are in balance or in harmony. Wood is said to be the mother of fire and the son of water.
(Water allows wood to grow, wood provides fuel for the fire). Using these relationships one can
describe all possible yin-yang imbalances within the body. The thrust of five element diagnosis is
to isolate and treat the imbalanced element, because an imbalanced element is like a weak link in
your energetic chain that can undermine the strength of your mind, body and spirit.

Is Acupuncture Useful for Cancer?

According to American Cancer Society, there is no evidence that acupuncture is effective as a
treatment for cancer. However, clinical studies have shown that acupuncture is helpful in treating
nausea caused by chemotherapy drugs and surgical anesthesia. Another clinical trial found that
acupuncture was effective in reducing the number of hot flashes experienced by men after
prostate cancer hormonal therapy. Acupuncture may lessen the need for pain medicines. For
example, headache sufferers treated with acupuncture used less pain medicines and missed
fewer work days as compared with those taking standard treatment.

Acupuncture is often used as an adjunctive therapy in anesthesia, in post-operative pain control,
and in aiding and hastening recovery from the side effects of the various therapies. Acupuncture is
effective for control of pain, of local swelling post-operatively, for shortening the resolution of
hematoma and tissue swelling and for minimizing use of medications and their attendant side
effects. Energetic acupuncture, an approach consisting of the use of needles with electricity and
moxibustion, imparts a sense of well being and accelerates patients' recovery. It is used routinely
in cancer institutions along with nutritional support.

For many people undergoing chemotherapy, the dreaded side effect of nausea and vomiting is
more sickening than the chemotherapy itself. A study conducted at the University of Los Angeles
(UCLA) School of Medicine found significant reduction of nausea and vomiting when the patients
were treated with acupuncture before undergoing chemotherapy. The American Cancer Society
reports that acupuncture is now routinely administered before, after and in between chemotherapy
treatment sessions for control of nausea and emesis. Use of acupuncture helps in minimizing the
use of standard, expensive multi-drug anti-nausea regimens with their attendant side effects for
chemotherapy patients.

Acupuncture is useful in managing cancer-related pain. The use of acupuncture can reduce the
need for narcotic drugs. This also means that acupuncture will minimize side effects such as
confusion, disturbed mentation, behavioral changes, nausea and severe constipation, the normal
result of taking narcotics.

Needling a variety of trigger and painful points, percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and
osteo-puncture, along with whole body energetic acupuncture support, are approaches available
to the acupuncturists.

Traditional Chinese Medicine
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), any such energy depletion can be ameliorated
by a process known as tonification by imparting energy into the system. This is deemed necessary
for more durable, successful pain control. It can also add to the patients' sense of well being and
decrease the malaise associated with any chronic disease, especially cancer.

The chronic disease process depletes the energy level in the organism. Energetic acupuncture
repletes energy level to the body and the diseased organs or part of the body. It also reestablishes
homeostasis by re-balancing energy distribution and un-blocking energy flow. Acupuncture can
provide a more durable, successful pain control and provide a sense of well being to cancer
sufferers.

Energetic acupuncture is routinely used to provide healing energy to diseased organs such as
liver, pancreas, kidney, and others that are ravaged by cancer. Researchers at UCLA found that

71
when nutrition and supplements are combined with energetic acupuncture, it boosts the immune
response in cancer patients, along with minimizing the immune and white blood cell suppression.

In summary, acupuncture can help in the care of the cancer patient.

Miscellaneous Causes of Disease

Excessive Sexual Activity: Excessive sexual activity depletes one's vital energy. The body draws
on Essence at ejaculation and orgasm. Excessive sexual activity depends on the strength of one's
Essence which reaches a peak during the twenties and then declines slowly. If the constitution is
strong, more activity is possible. Men's ejaculation is more depleting than women's orgasm, but a
woman loses Essence through the process of childbirth. Sexual activity not leading to ejaculation
in men is thought to be non-detrimental to health Excessive sexual activity is one that leads to
marked fatigue, especially if accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision,
lower backache, weak knees and frequent urination. Sexual activity should be seriously curtailed if
there is Qi or Blood deficiency, or especially in the presence of a weakness of the Kidneys. Men
are more affected than women by a Kidney weakness (women's sexual energy is more related to
Blood than men's which is more related to
Essence). Lack of sexual activities is also
considered a disease.

Kidney-Essence: Kidney-Essence and Kidney-
Yin are important for the nourishment of the Uterus,
and their deficiency may cause infertility in women.

Kidney-Yang Deficiency: Kidney-Yang deficiency
may lead to a lack of sexual desire or to an inability
to enjoy sex or reach orgasm. In men, it can lead to
impotence and premature ejaculation.

Kidney-Yin deficiency may lead to excessive sexual
desire that can never be satisfied. The person may
also have vivid sexual dreams resulting in nocturnal
emissions in men and orgasms in women.

Latrogenesis: This includes the side effects of
any medical treatment, and illnesses caused by
medical treatment. In acupuncture or Asian
bodywork therapy, this is a minor problem only, as
the body can readjust itself after a few days, but
with herbal therapy there is a potential risk.

Over-Exertion: This is a frequent problem in the West. Insufficient rest over a period of months or
years means that the body has to draw on Jing (Original Essence) for additional strength. There
are three types of overwork: mental overwork; physical overwork; excessive physical exercise.
Physical work depletes the Spleen-Qi. Repetitive use of muscles may cause localized Qi or Blood
stagnation. Irregular and exhausting exercise depletes the Qi. Excessive lifting can deplete the
Kidneys and the lower back, and so does excessive standing. Mental overwork includes working
long hours in conditions of extreme stress, eating irregular meals, being always in a hurry, over a
long period. Overthinking depletes the Spleen, while the irregular diet depletes the Stomach-Qi or
Stomach-Yin which can lead to a Kidney-Yin deficiency. Exercise is good for the health, but not
when done to the point of exhaustion. However, lack of exercise also leads to stagnation of Qi,
and this can lead to Dampness. Yoga and Tai Chi Chuan are good for those deficient in Qi who do
not have enough energy for more rigorous exercise.

134
Parasites and Poisons: Treated with herbal prescriptions.

Poor Constitution: The person's constitutional strength depends on the health and age of their
parents, particularly at the time of conception, because the child's Pre-Heaven Essence is formed
by the fusion of the parental Essences. It also depends especially on the mother's health and age
during the pregnancy. A severe shock during pregnancy is also detrimental to the health of the
child. Many childhood diseases, particularly whooping cough, indicate a weak constitution. Pre-
Heaven Essence can be prematurely drained through overwork, inadequate rest, alcohol,
excessive sexual activity or can be preserved and enhanced by Tai Qi Quan, meditation, breathing
exercise, and Qi Gung. The constitution determines how much Qi you have in reserve to combat
any stress factors that might undermine your health. Small ears with short ear lobes, according to
the Chinese, show constitutional weaknesses.

Poor Dietary Habit: From a Chinese point of view, diet can be unbalanced from a quantitative and
a qualitative point of view. Malnutrition is such a problem, found all over the world. It seriously
weakens the Qi and the Blood and results in Spleen Deficiency. It is caused by eating food with no
calorific or nutritive value, or by adhering too strictly to fixed diets. Trying to loose weight by not
eating enough is also detrimental. Over-eating also weakens the Spleen and Stomach, and leads
to retention of Food characterized by a bloated feeling in the Stomach, belching, nausea and
gastric reflux (heartburn). Excessive consumption of food that is Hot or Cold in energy can also be
detrimental. Large quantities of cooling food (fruits, fruit juice and ice cream, salads) can injure the
Yang of the Spleen. Excessive consumption of sweet foods and sugar also blocks the Spleen
function and leads to Dampness. Oily, fried and greasy food, including deep-fried food, milk,
cheese, butter, cream, ice-cream, bananas, peanuts, fatty meats, should be reduced in amount, as
it may cause Dampness. Excessive consumption of hot food (alcohol and spicy food) should be
reduced by those who are Yin deficient, especially of the Liver and Stomach. It is not only what
one eats, it is also the way one eats it. Eating in a hurry, going straight back to work after eating,
eating late in the evening, eating in a state of emotional tension can lead to Stomach Yin
deficiency. The main problem is a lifestyle one, and that is what has to be changed.

Rest: Too little rest, and a person cannot transform food into Blood and Body Fluids; too much
rest, on the other hand, leads to Dampness and Stagnation.

Trauma: Trauma includes physical accidents such as broken bones and bruising. A slight trauma
causes Stagnation of Qi, a more serious one, stasis of Blood. In all cases, it causes pain, bruising
and swelling. It may cause long-term stagnation of Qi if combined with other factors such as
External Dampness. Shiatsu can help with old injuries by increasing Qi and blood circulation that is
often blocked where there is scar tissue.

External Causes of Disease: The Evil Pernicious Influences

External causes of diseases are of a physical nature and are due to climatic factors. They
encroach upon the body from the outside environment. They are also called External Pathogenic
Factors, Evils, or Excesses. Evils can penetrate the body when the weather is unseasonably
excessive or when the Defensive Qi is weak and they cause an imbalance. If our defensive system
is strong, it simply repels the invasion or adjusts to the sudden changes; if the defensive system is
weak or the Evil unusually strong, an illness develops and may go progressively deeper in the
body. Usually there is an aversion to the Evil one is affected by. Evils can appear in combination or
alone.

An Evil describes both the cause of the condition and the condition. When a patient is described
as suffering from Wind Heat, it does not necessarily
mean that it was caused by Wind or Heat. It is the
way the body reacts and a description of symptoms.
However, Evils tend to be a predominant cause or
aggravation of a disease in their related seasons. An
Evil can penetrate either via the mouth, the nose or
the skin. Heat invades more readily by the nose and
mouth.

Cold: External cold can penetrate the body of those
who live or work in cold conditions or cannot dress
properly. It causes Qi stagnation and results in
contraction of muscles and joints, cramping pain and
watery discharge.

Dampness: Exposure to damp weather, wearing
wet clothes, a humid environment can cause
External Dampness to invade. It often combines with
Heat and Cold.

Dryness: Dryness attacks are usually limited
to the respiratory tract or the skin.

Fire/Summer Heat: External Heat can
penetrate the body of those who live or work
in hot conditions, and it may combine with
external pathogenic factors such as Wind or
Damp.

Wind: This term usually suggests a pattern
of disharmony rather than a climatic factor. It
can appear in any season and it can combine
with any other evil. Some people get neck
problems from exposure to Wind, and the
presence of Wind can worsen the impact of
the other climatic factors.

Organ Diseases

Sensitive Points (if present) + Mu + Shu points + points for symptoms
(or) Sensitive points + Yuan + Luo + Xi + points for symptoms
(or) Sensitive points + Earpoints
(or) Sensitive points + Local points + Distant points on the affected Channel

Local Disorders (elbow pain, for instance):
Sensitive points (if present) + Local points + Distant points on affected and
related Channels
(or) Sensitive Points + Earpoints for Elbow + Earpoint ShenMen
(or) Sensitive Points + Tsing points + Local points + Distant points on affected
and related Channels

Distal Points
Acupuncture points are not always chosen locally to treat a problem. Often distal points
are chosen. These points are generally located quite far from the diseased area (often
below the elbows and knees), and are chosen for their ability to treat the problem.

Local Points
There are two kinds of local acupuncture points: classical acupuncture points which are
located close to the area of pain, and, points of sensitivity (not actual points) called
AhShi points, which may also be effective.

Experience Points
These acupuncture points have been proven by clinical experience over time to be very
effective in the treatment of a particular disorder.

Interior- Exterior (Yin-Yang)
The twelve regular meridians are paired together into six groups. One of each pair
represents the interior (yin) aspect of the relationship while the other represents the
exterior (yang) of the relationship. For example the Spleen (yin) and Stomach (yang) are
one pair. A Stomach problem may therefore be treated with points on the Spleen
meridian.

Front and Back:
Often points are chosen from both the front of the body and the back of the body in order
to elicit balance in the acupuncture treatment. A good example of this would be the
combination of a Front (Mu) point and a Back (Shu) point in the treatment of a disorder.

Upper and Lower:
Disease in the upper part of the body may be treated by selecting points in the lower part
of the body and vice versa. For example, GV 20 on the top of the head is an effective
point to treat hemorrhoids. Left and Right: Acupuncture points in the right side of the
body may be selected for diseases in the left side of the body and vice versa. This type
of treatment may be implemented for the purpose of balancing the energy in a meridian
on different sides of the body, or in the case of head acupuncture, one side of the head
may be treated to affect the opposite side of the body.

307
Acupuncture Terms and Glossary

Abdominal Distention: Abdominal distention is a common condition, which usually
results from over-eating, rather than from a serious illness. Simple weight gain,
premenstrual syndrome (PMS), pregnancy, or the unconscious swallowing of air can
also cause distention. Abdominal distention is often caused by intestinal gas. This may
result from eating fibrous foods such as fruits and vegetables. Legumes such as beans
are common sources of intestinal gas. People who are lactose intolerant cannot properly
digest dairy foods, and eating such foods may cause distention. Abdominal distention
may also occasionally result from the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen, which can
be a sign of serious medical problems. There are usually other symptoms in this case.

Acupuncture: The practice of inserting very thin needles in specific acupuncture points or
combinations of points on the body to improve health and well-being. There are over
1,000 acupoints that can be stimulated through the insertion of needles.

Allopathy: A term for conventional medicine, used most frequently by its critics. The word
was coined by Samuel Hahnemann. See also: Allopathic medicine

Alternative Medical Systems: The precise name of an NCCAM classification for those
forms of alternative medicine that are built upon a complete system of theory and
practice.

Alternative Medicine: "A group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices,
and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine."
Alternatively defined in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary as: a wide range
of treatments for medical conditions that people use instead of or with western medicine:
Alternative medicine includes treatments such as acupuncture, homeopathy and
hypnotherapy. See Alternative medicine for additional definitions.

Anal Prolapse: Rectal prolapse is a condition in which the rectum falls downwards and
turns inside out. Initially, the rectum stays inside the body, but as the condition worsens,
it may protrude outside through the anus. There is often weakness of the anal muscles,
which may result in leakage of mucus or stool. Incomplete rectal prolapse involves the
abnormal protrusion of rectal mucosa through the anus. There is a partial overlap of this
diagnosis with chronic prolapsed hemorrhoids, especially if part of the prolapse is
hemorrhoids, and part of the tissue is rectal mucosa. If the protrusion of rectal mucosa is
only partial, then this is called a partial mucosal prolapse.

Aromatherapy: The use of essential oils and other aromatic compounds from plants to
affect someone's mood or health.

Aromatic Stomacic: Herbs that are aromatic and promote digestion by moving
dampness.

Arrhythmia: Cardiac arrhythmia is any of a group of conditions in which the electrical
activity of the heart is irregular or is faster or slower than normal. Some arrhythmiae are
life-threatening medical emergencies that can cause cardiac arrest and sudden death.
Others cause aggravating symptoms, such as an awareness of a different heart beat, or
palpitation, which can be annoying. Some are quite small and normal. Sinus arrhythmia

308
is the mild acceleration followed by slowing of the normal rhythm that occurs with
breathing. In adults the normal resting heart rate ranges from 60 beats per minute to 100
beats per minute.

Asklepios: (Latinate spelling Asclepius) the Greek god of medicine who treated the sick
with the help of his daughters, Hygeia and Panacea.

Ayurveda: "This comprehensive system of medicine, developed in India over 2,000
years ago, places equal emphasis on body, mind, and spirit. The goal is to restore the
natural harmony of the individual. An Ayurvedic doctor identifies an individual's
constitution or overall health profile by ascertaining the patient's metabolic body type
(Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) through a series of personal history questions. The patient's
constitution then becomes the foundation of a specific treatment plan designed to guide
the individual back into harmony with his or her environment. This plan may include
dietary changes, exercise, yoga, meditation, massage, herbal tonics, and other
remedies."

Bates Method: An alternative approach to eyesight improvement and maintenance.
Recent reviews and clinical trials have failed to show its effectiveness and it is largely
considered pseudoscience.

Biofeedback: Links the mind with the body through high-technology devices that allow
the mind to control certain bodily functions. In this treatment method, an individual is
hooked up to monitoring devices which provide an indication of how brain waves,
breathing patterns, muscle activity, sweat gland function, pulse, skin temperature, and
blood pressure are responding to relaxation techniques, such as meditation.
"Biofeedback has been used to reduce stress, eliminate headaches, recondition injured
muscles, control asthmatic attacks, and relieve pain."

Biologically Based Therapies: The precise name of an NCCAM classification for
alternative treatments that use substances found in nature and/or some other natural
therapy.

Biomedical Model: A conceptual model of illness that excludes psychological and social
factors and includes only biological factors in an attempt to understand a person's
illness.

Biopsychosocial Model: Sees health, illness and healing as resulting from the interacting
effects of events of very different types, including biological, psychological, and social
factors.

Blood Deficiency: A lack of blood with signs of anemia, dizziness, dry skin or hair, scant
or absent menstruation, fatigue, pale skin and poor memory.

Blood: A broad term to describe the physical blood in the body that moistens the
muscles, tissues, skin and hair, and also nourishes the cells and organs. In oriental
medical systems many terms have more meaning than in Western medicine--this is one
of those. Blood in Chinese medicine is a nourishing substance which cools and moistens
the tissues including the skin, and anchors the shen (mind/spirit). Therefore someone
who is blood deficient may have dry skin, or their sleep may be disturbed by vivid
dreams.

309
Body Work: The preferred name for massage treatments, because this health
profession is trying to disassociate itself from the sex industry. Body work "involves
pressing, rubbing, and otherwise manipulating muscles and other soft tissues of the
body, causing them to relax and lengthen and allowing pain relieving oxygen and blood
to flow to the affected area. Using their hands and sometimes feet, elbows, and
forearms, massage therapists may use over 75 different methods, such as Swedish
message, deep-tissue massage, neuromuscular massage, and manual lymph drainage.
Massage is considered effective for relieving any type of pain in the body's soft tissue,
including back, neck, and shoulder pain, headaches, bursitis, and tendonitis.

Borborygmus: Bowel sounds, the gurgling, rumbling, or growling noise from the
abdomen caused by the muscular contractions of peristalsis, the process that moves the
contents of the stomach and intestines downward. The plural is borborygmi. Bowel
sounds are normal. Their absence can indicate intestinal obstruction. Bowel sounds may
also be temporarily absent after abdominal surgery. The word "borborygmus" has been
rumbling around the English language for some 200 years. Its earliest known use in
English dates to 1796. The word arrived from New Latin, but traces its way back to the
Greek "borboryzein," which means "to rumble."

Breathing Meditation: Many forms of meditation, especially Asian, focus on breathing in
their technique, including yoga, qigong, vipassana, etc. "Deep breathing involves slow,
deep inhalation through the nose, usually for a count of 10, followed by slow and
complete exhalation for a similar count. To help quiet the mind, one generally
concentrates fully on breathing and counting through each cycle. The process may be
repeated 5 to 10 times, several times a day."

Calmative: Has a sedative or calming effect on the mind and the nerves.

CAM: An acronym for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. This is an umbrella
term for a large range of treatments and theories on the nature of health and illness,
many of them unrelated, which have in common that they are not generally accepted by
the conventional medical establishment. While some scientific evidence exists for or
against some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be
answered through well-designed studies, including whether these therapies are safe,
whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are used, and
whether the explanations proponents offer for them are correct. The list of therapies
included under CAM changes gradually.

Channels: Over 2000 years of empirical practice has mapped out the course of the flow
of Qi along the channels and identifies key focus points along these channels. It appears
that they were identified to explain the progression of diseases and also by the
massaging or needling of the channels, relieving symptoms.

Chelation Therapy: The use of chelating agents such as EDTA to remove heavy metals
from the body. While in conventional medicine chelation therapy is used only to treat
heavy metal poisoning, some alternative practitioners advocate the use of chelation
therapy to treat coronary artery disease.

310
Chinese Medicine: The group of philosophies embodied by Chinese medicine is more
accurately referred to as Oriental Medicine, with roots in many different Asian countries.
This millennia-old Asian medical tradition works to bring balance to the body through
acupuncture, massage, Eastern herbalism, diet; and lifestyle changes such as martial
arts and meditation.

Chiropractics: A popular form of alternative medicine, in which the most commonly
utilized intervention is spinal manipulation. Some chiropractors maintain that their spinal
adjustments move vertebrae to release pressure on spinal nerves to improve health.
"This care involves the adjustment of the spine and joints to influence the bodys nervous
system and natural defense mechanisms to alleviate pain and improve general health. It
is primarily used to treat back problems, headaches, nerve inflammation, muscle
spasms, and other injuries and trauma."

Complementary Medicine: Alternative treatments that are used alongside
("complementary to") conventional medicine, especially as palliative care.

Cupping: An adjunctive physical technique of TCM (Chinese Medicine) employed by
acupuncturists. It involves creating a vacuum in specialized cups to affect the body. It
increases fluid circulation in the tissues and has been shown to reduce inflammation.
It is also used on internal problems, including colds, and appears in traditional
medicines around the world including Turkish, Romany and Brazilian. You can see
Sicilian immigrants using it in The Godfather II to treat colic.

Damp Heat: Collection of Dampness and Heat, often resulting in infection (bacterial or
viral).

Deficient Blood: Blood is one of the five essential energies of the body in Oriental
Medicine. Blood is the physical manifestation of Qi and is responsible for carrying
nourishment and moisture to the Organs, tissues, and muscles. Deficient blood shows a
general pattern of dizziness; pale, lusterless face; pale lips; dry skin or hair; scant
menses; pale Tongue material; thin Pulse.

Deficient Qi: Qi is the fundamental life force or energy that is found in all living things and
is formed from the interaction of yin and yang energies. Deficient Qi shows general
weakness; pale, bright face; shallow respiration; low or soft voice; spontaneous
sweating; pale Tongue material; Empty, weak Pulse.

Deficient Yang: Yang is one of the two fundamental polar energies found in all living
things. Yang qualities or conditions are hot, dry, and excessive, on or near the surface of
the body. Yang complements yin. Deficient Yang is similar to Deficient Qi but with signs
of Interior Cold, including cold limbs; aversion to cold; puffy Tongue; slow Pulse.

Deficient Yin: Yin is one of the two fundamental polar energies found in all living things.
Yin qualities or conditions are cold, damp, deficient, and found in the interior of the body.
Yin complements yang. Deficient Yin is similar to Deficient Blood, but characterized by
"appearance of Heat, including agitated manner; red cheeks; warm palms and soles;
night sweats; red Tongue material and rapid, thin Pulse.

Diet-based Therapy: Uses a variety of diets in order to improve health and longevity, to
control weight, as well as to treat specific health conditions like high cholesterol.

311
Disease Models: How people who have studied diseases try to explain them.

Doctrine of Signatures: Developed around 1500 and claims that a plant's physical
appearance reveals its medical value. The Doctrine of Signatures is often associated
with Western herbalism.

Dysmenorrhea: This condition refers to the pain or discomfort associated with
menstruation. Although not a serious medical problem, its usually meant to describe a
woman with menstrual symptoms severe enough to keep her from functioning for a day
or two each month.

Dyspnea: Difficult or labored breathing; shortness of breath. Dyspnea is a sign of serious
disease of the airway, lungs, or heart. The onset of dyspnea should not be ignored but is
reason to seek medical attention. The word dyspnea comes the Greek "dys-", difficulty +
"pnoia", breathing = difficulty breathing. Dyspnea is the American spelling and dyspnoea
is the British (mis)spelling. Common Misspellings: dyspenia, dypsena, dypsnea, dyspena

Eclectic Medicine: A nineteenth-century system of medicine used in North America that
treated diseases by the application of single herbal remedies to effect specific cures of
certain signs and symptoms.

Edema: Means swelling caused by fluid in your body's tissues. It usually occurs in the
feet, ankles and legs, but it can involve your entire body. Causes of edema include:
Eating too much salt, Sunburn, Heart failure, Kidney disease, Liver problems from
cirrhosis, Pregnancy, Problems with lymph nodes, especially after mastectomy, Some
medicines, Standing or walking a lot when the weather is warm.

Efferent: Neural pathways that have an 'effect'. They carry signals from the body to the
central nervous system; e.g. your sense of touch.

Emesis: Vomiting. An emesis basin is usually kept handy for surgery patients recovering
from general anesthesia since nausea and vomiting are common in that situation. From
the Greek emein (to vomit), from the Indo-European root wem- (to vomit), the source of
the words such as wamble (to feel nauseated) and vomit.

Empty Fire: In Excess/Heat conditions where the "Fire" often rises to the head, and there
are signs such as splitting headaches; dizziness; red face and eyes; dry mouth;
deafness or sudden ringing in the ears. In addition, irritability, frequent anger and
insomnia may be present, as well as constipation; dark, scanty urine; red Tongue with
rough, yellow moss; and a rapid and full, as well as Wiry, Pulse. This pattern is often
seen in Western medicine as essential hypertension, migraine headaches, bleeding of
the upper digestive tract, menopausal complaints; eye diseases such as acute
conjunctivitis and glaucoma; or ear disturbances such as labyrinthitis, Meniere's disease,
or otitis.

Energy Therapies: The name of an NCCAM classification for alternative treatments that
involve the use of purported energy fields.

312
Eructation: The voiding of gas or of a small quantity of acid fluid from the stomach
through the mouth. Normally the air in stomach is passed downstream into the
intestines. Belching occurs when the stomach air, instead of going down, goes up into
the esophagus and is expelled though the mouth. As in gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD) or heartburn, this process requires that the one way valve between esophagus
and stomach (lower esophageal sphincter or LES) relax and allow the regurgitation of air
upward into the esophagus and then out through the mouth making a sound.

Exercise-based Therapy: Uses a variety of traditional forms of physical exercise in order
to improve health and longevity, and to increase muscle mass, as well as to treat
specific health conditions and to relieve stress.

Fascia: Connective tissue which wraps around and is continuous though muscle tissue.
It is this connective tissue which the contractile muscle cells pull on to effect movement.
It also connects the muscles to tendon bones and each other, for example the fascial
sheet at the lower back is an attachment for many different muscles, and therefore
tightness in one place can also affect a distant muscle.

Flower Essence Therapy: A sub-category of homeopathy which uses homeopathic
dilutions of flowers. This practice was begun by Edward Bach with the Bach flower
remedies but is now practiced much more widely, utilizing flowers all over the world.
There are numerous makers of flower essences, using the flowers that are local to their
region.

Folk Medicine: The collection of procedures traditionally used for treatment of illness and
injury, aid to childbirth, and maintenance of wellness.

Gastroesophageal: Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Your esophagus is the tube that
carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
happens when a muscle at the end of your esophagus does not close properly. This
allows stomach contents to leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus and irritate it. You
may feel a burning in the chest or throat called heartburn. Sometimes, you can taste
stomach fluid in the back of the mouth. This is acid indigestion. If you have these
symptoms more than twice a week, you may have GERD.

Grahamism: Recommended hard mattresses, open bedroom windows, chastity, cold
showers, loose clothing, pure water and vigorous exercise.

Green Prescription: A card given by a doctor or nurse to a patient, with exercise and
lifestyle goals written on it.

Group Modalities: Forms of CAM that an individual must seek out and perform with a
group of like-minded people.

Heat: An external or internal "climatic" imbalance or ailment characterized by fever,
aversion to heat, overactivity, constipation, dehydration, sparse dark urination, and
insomnia. Heat can also progress and penetrate to the interior of the body and frequently
combines with damp to create internal heat-damp imbalances. Heat is Yang in
character.

313
Hemorrhoids: Or piles, are varicose veins of the rectum or anus. They are common in
middle and later life, often caused by years of chronic constipation. The three different
types of hemorrhoids include: Internal hemorrhoids - found inside the rectum. They are
painless but tend to bleed. Prolapsed hemorrhoids - a more severe and painful form of
internal hemorrhoids. These veins push through the anus and hang out of the body,
particularly after going to the toilet. Sometimes, the anal sphincter (ring of muscle) can
strangulate veins that hang out permanently. External hemorrhoids - these are like small
hemorrhages (bleeds) under the skin around the anus. They feel like hard lumps.

Herbalism: The practice of making or prescribing herbal remedies for medical conditions.

Herbology: The traditional Chinese medical practice of combining plants, minerals, and
parts of animals for medical treatment.

Heroic Medicine: Any medicine or method of treatment that is aggressive or daring in a
dangerously ill patient.

Holism: The study and advocacy of wholeness in health, science, politics, or any other
area of life.

Homeopathy: An alternative medical practice founded on similars. The underlying
theory is that disease states are cured by remedies which produce, on a healthy person,
similar effects to the symptoms of the patient's complaint. "For example, someone
suffering from insomnia may be given a homeopathic dose of coffee. Administered in
diluted form, homeopathic remedies are derived from many natural sources, including
plants, metals, and minerals. Numbering in the thousands, these remedies have been
used to treat a wide variety of ailments including seasonal allergies, asthma, influenza,
headaches, and indigestion."

Hydrotherapy: The external use of water in the medical treatment of disease.

Hypnosis: "An altered state of consciousness, it is characterized by increased
responsiveness to suggestion. The hypnotic state is attained by first relaxing the body
then shifting the client's attention toward a narrow range of objects or ideas as
suggested by the hypnotist or hypnotheraptist. The procedure is used to access various
levels of the mind to effect positive changes in a person's behavior and to treat
numerous health conditions. For example, hypnosis has been used to lose weight,
improve sleep, and reduce pain and stress."

Hypnotherapy: The treatment of a symptom, disease, or addiction by means of
hypnotism.

Integrative Medicine: As defined by NCCAM, combines conventional medical treatments
and CAM alternative treatments for which there is some high-quality scientific evidence
of their safety and effectiveness.

Interventions: Any attempt to modify a medical or health condition.

Iridology: The study of the iris to determine health. (See also eyology and sclerology.)

314
Jin Shin Jyutsu: An ancient Japanese technique for energy healing, using deep
breathing and the placement of one's hands on specific areas of the body, called Safety
Energy Locks (or SELs). It was rediscovered in Japan in the early 1900's by Master Jiro
Murai. He taught the techniques to Mary Burmeister in the late 1940s, and she brought it
to the US.

Jing: The Substance, or Essence, that underlies all organic life and is the source of
organic change. It is thought of as fluid-like, and is supportive, nutritive and is the basis
of reproduction and development. It has functions but mainly is seen as the store of
energy one is born with, determining a persons constitution. On a continuum it is seen
as a more Yin dense Qi, as opposed to Shen (mind/ Spirit) which is a more rarefied Qi
giving rise to consciousness.

Journaling: A technique for reducing stress by writing about stressful events in your life.

Leukorrhea: Is the medical term for a certain type of vaginal discharge that is common
during pregnancy as well as at other times during your reproductive years. If you have
leukorrhea, you may have a thick and sticky vaginal discharge that is white, yellow, or
green. It can vary with a woman's menstrual cycle as her hormone levels change.
Vaginal discharges are often a sign of vaginal yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, or
sexually transmitted diseases. Leukorrhea may or may not indicate the presence of
infection, and it is not usually accompanied by other signs and symptoms, such as
itching, pain, burning or irritation, or redness, of the tissue. Only a qualified health
professional can tell you whether you have an infection. If you have any unusual type of
vaginal discharge during pregnancy or at any other time, always consult your health
professional before trying any over-the-counter treatments or home remedies.

Life Extension: A movement, the goal of which is to live longer through intervention, and
to increase maximum lifespan or average lifespan, especially in mammals. Researchers
of life extension are a subclass of biogerontologists known as "biomedical
gerontologists".

Lifestyle Diseases: Diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become
more industrialized and people live longer.

Lifestyle: Describes the particular attitudes, habits or behaviors associated with an
individual.

Lower Warmer: Anatomical location referring to the abdominal area below the navel,
especially encompassing the Kidney and Liver (the location of the liver is related to its
Meridian pathway in the lower groin). The condition of Damp Heat in the lower Warmer
may refer, for example, to an infectious process in the large intestine (dysentery) or in
the bladder (urinary tract infection).

Manipulative and body-based methods: The precise name of an NCCAM classification
for alternative treatments that are based on manipulation and/or movement of one or
more parts of the body (See also manipulative therapy).

Massage Therapy: "Involves pressing, rubbing, and otherwise manipulating muscles and
other soft tissues of the body, causing them to relax and lengthen and allowing pain
relieving oxygen and blood to flow to the affected area. Using their hands and

315
sometimes feet, elbows, and forearms, massage therapists may use over 75 different
methods, such as Swedish message, deep-tissue massage, neuromuscular massage,
and manual lymph drainage. Massage is considered effective for relieving any type of
pain in the body's soft tissue, including back, neck, and shoulder pain, headaches,
bursitis, and tendonitis.

Meditation: "Mental calmness and physical relaxation is achieved [with meditation] by
suspending the stream of thoughts that normally occupy the mind. Generally performed
once or twice a day for approximately 20 minutes at a time, meditation is used to reduce
stress, alter hormone levels, and elevate one's mood; In addition, a person experienced
in meditation can achieve a reduction in blood pressure, adrenaline levels, heart rate,
and skin temperature." Other forms of meditation work with focusing or distracting one's
attention rather than "suspending the stream of thoughts".

Middle Warmer: Anatomical area below the chest, but above the navel, including the
Spleen and Stomach in Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, the term Spleen/Stomach
disharmony often refers to a variety of digestive disorders.

Mind-body Connection: Says that the causes, development, and outcomes of an illness
are determined as much from the interaction of psychological and social factors as they
are due to the biological factors of health.

Mind-body Interventions: The precise name of an NCCAM classification that covers a
variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind's capacity to affect bodily function
and symptoms.

Moxa: An herbal preparation of Mugwort, dried and rolled into a pole which resembles a
cigar. It is not smoked, but used for warming regions on the body including acupuncture
points. Use of moxa is called moxibustion. It is one of the techniques of traditional
Chinese medicine.

Moxibustion: The practice of burning an herb (Moxa/ artemesia vulgaris) over an area,
on a needle or on the skin (with precautions to prevent burning the skin) in order to warm
the area. This warming can be used to engender the production of Qi and blood
(Tonifying), to promote circulation and healing. In Japanese acupuncture systems the
use of moxa is more refined and it can be used for almost anything, to clear heat even in
the case of fever.

Muscle Energy Technique: basically involves using motion on the part of the client to
facilitate lengthening of muscle tissue to return it to its normal resting length.

Myofascial Release: A technique which releases muscular tension by working on
connective tissue (fascia). It is currently thought that the transverse pressure applied
induces the peripheral nervous system to release the muscle. It can be effective in any
problem featuring tight muscle tissue, and is very effective in relieving myofascial pain.

Natural Health: An eclectic self-care system of natural therapies that purports to build
and restore health by working with the natural recuperative powers of the human body.

Natural Hygiene: A variation of the nature cure. Its major practices are fasting, food
combining, and a raw food diet.

Natural Therapy: The treatment method used by advocates of natural health.

Nature Cure: The progenitor of naturopathy in Europe. It postulates that all disease is
due to violations of nature's laws, and that true healing consists in a return to natural
habits.

Naturopathic Medicine: The eclectic practice of Naturopathic Doctors (N.D) using many
different natural therapies as treatment. The original method of treatment of Naturopathy
was the water cure. Some other treatments are as follows:
o Acupressure
o Acupuncture
o Chinese martial arts
o Chinese pulse diagnosis
o Coin rubbing
o Cupping
o Five Elements
o Food therapy
o Herbology
o Jing
o Meridian
o Moxibustion
o Neigong
o Qigong
o San Jiao
o Seven star
o Shen
o Tao Yin
o TCM model of the body
o Trigger point
o Tui na
o Yin and yang
o Zang Fu theory

OPI: Outside Pernicious Influence - Outside factor precipitating a sudden onset of acute
illness. In Western medicine terms, this frequently refers to onset of an acute infectious
process, such as that seen with the common cold or flu (OPI Wind-Cold or OPI Wind-
Heat).

Orifices: The sense organs of the head, including eyes, ears, nose and mouth. In
conditions where the orifices are "closed," there is unconsciousness.

Orthopathy: Started in 1802 in the US and developed into the natural hygiene
movement.

Otitis: Otitis media. Ear infections are the most common illnesses in babies and young
children. Most often, the infection affects the middle ear and is called otitis media. The
tubes inside the ears become clogged with fluid and mucus. This can affect hearing,
because sound cannot get through all that fluid.

317
Patent Formulas: A pre-made medicinal, usually based on a Classic TCM decoction.
Patents come in many forms, plasters, ointments, liniments, syrups, liquors, but are
usually in pill form.

Patent Medicines: Like Western Over-The-Counter drugs, generally for more minor
conditions. Typically, they are used for acute conditions like onset of colds or for chronic
but stable conditions, like asthma. Patent medicines are more convenient than brewing
decoctions and thus are highly suited for taking outside of the home.

Pattern Discrimination: The method by which Chinese Pathology is classified. Unlike
Western medicine, the disease entity is not the basis. Pattern Discriminations are much
broader and based primarily on how the condition is manifesting in the individual patient.

Physical Educators: Teach physical fitness and exercise.

Peritonitis: Is an inflammation (irritation) of the peritoneum, the tissue that lines the wall
of the abdomen and covers the abdominal organs.

Plum Blossom: (Chinese medicine) The name of both a tool (also called "Seven Star")
and a technique in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as a metaphor used by several
different Chinese martial arts.

Positional Release: A highly useful technique born of osteopathic practice, based on the
idea that finding a position of a muscle where it is under no strain (position of ease)
allows the muscle to release. It is thought that this position allows the nervous system to
reset afferent stimulus holding the muscle in a contracted and painful position by
minimizing the painful stimuli. It is performed by the therapist by moving a joint gently
without the participation of the client, in different ranges of motion, while ease is
determined by palpation and the feel of the movement. It can also be done with the client
giving feedback about pressure on a tender point.

Professionalized Modalities: A professional used in this context is referring to a person
engaging in a given activity as a source of livelihood or as a career. It is a provider-
based therapy where someone who is knowledgeable about a specific alternative health
therapy provides care or gives advice about its use. It refers to all doctor/patient
relationships where the professional is functioning in the role of a doctor, whether
licensed or not. The professional is providing some type of treatment or therapy which
the patient cannot perform on themselves.

Progressive Relaxation: "This therapy involves the successive tensing and relaxing of
each of the 15 major muscle groups. Performed lying down, one generally begins with
the head and progresses downward, tensing each muscle as tightly as possible for a
count of 5 to 10 and then releasing it completely. Often combined with deep breathing,
progressive relaxations are particularly useful for reducing stress, relieving tension, and
inducing sleep."

Qi: This Chinese word is usually translated as energy, or vital energy. The character is
formed of a pictogram meaning rice and another meaning steam or vapour. Together
they imply that Qi can be material or immaterial, and has a connotation of the transition
from one state to another. This is the way it is seen in Qigong practice and Chinese
medicine. There is a continuum from the solid material Qi (Jing) to the Qi which we

318
influence with needles, massage or exercise (and herbs) through to the more rarefied
Shen (mind/spirit). By working on the quality of Qi, one can therefore benefit ones
physical constitution, and the quality of ones consciousness.

Qigong: An increasingly popular exercise aspect of Chinese medicine. Qigong is mostly
taught for health maintenance purposes, but there are also some who teach it, especially
in China, for therapeutic interventions. There are hundreds of different schools, and it is
also an adjunct training of many East Asian martial arts. The term Qigong is relatively
recent and refers to physical practices which aim to work on Qi. The character Gong
means, work, or endeavour, so it is working on ones Qi. There are hundreds of different
systems of Qigong, often stemming from family traditions or martial arts schools, and
many variations to those systems. They are given the label of internal exercises as they
work on ones internal systems. Some Qigong involves movement; other systems hold
static postures. Seated meditation can also be seen as Qigong, and some believe that
any exercise can be Qigong if the right intention and presence of mind is brought to it.
R-A Therapy: An alternative cancer therapy utilizing natural substances that purports to
induce re-differentiation and apoptosis in tumors so as to cause a reduction of cancer
cell numbers or an elimination of aggregations of malignant cells.

Reiki: Purports to be an energy healing therapy, which is claimed to help the body's
ability to heal itself through the flow and focusing of healing energy (reiki means "ghostly
energy"). During treatment, this healing energy is said to be channeled through the
hands of a practitioner into the client's body to restore a normal energy balance and
health. Energy healing therapy has been used to attempt treatment of a wide variety of
ailments and health problems and is sometimes used in conjunction with other
alternative and conventional medical treatments.

Self-care Modalities: Forms of CAM that individuals can perform by themselves, even if
they need to be trained to do so. These cover techniques that can be self-taught with the
aid of books or instructional videos, or can be learned from an experienced practitioner.
Although some initial training is needed, once these techniques are learned, you will
need no additional outside assistance unless you want to improve your skills.

Seven Emotions: Sadness, fright, fear, grief, anger, joy (extreme excitability) and
pensiveness. These are all considered as potential causes of illness.

Shen: The spirit and mental faculties of a person which include the zest for life,
charisma, the ability to exhibit self control, be responsible, speak coherently, think and
form ideas and live a happy, spiritually-fulfilled life. Mind or Spirit. It is seen on a
continuum as a rarefied, more yang form of Qi, as opposed to Jing, a condensed store of
Qi. Shen gives rise to conscious thought and all spiritual considerations of the human
condition. It was thought by the Taoists to reside in the head or brain, and by the
Confucians to reside in the heart. It can be subdivided into constituent parts in diagnostic
terms: will (zhi), intent (yi), mind (shen), ethereal soul (hun), and corporeal soul (po).

Six External Evils: Like the seven emotions, causes of illness and disease. Also known
as the six climatic factors, the six excesses and the six evil qi. The six external evils are
terms from nature that are used to describe the condition. These include wind, cold,
summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire. Terms are also used metaphorically to
indicate the behavior of a particular ailment or condition.

319
Stagnation of Blood (or Congealed Blood): The Blood has become obstructed and is not
flowing smoothly. There is sharp, stabbing pain accompanied by tumors, cysts or
swelling of the Organs (most commonly the Liver).

Stagnation of Qi: (or Stuck Qi) The normal movement of Qi is impaired, where it does
not flow through the body in a smooth and orderly fashion. Stagnant Qi in the limbs and
Meridians may be the origins of pain and aches in the body. Stagnation of Qi in the
Lungs may result in coughing and dyspnea. Stagnation of Qi in the Liver may result in
distension in the ribs and abdomen, or elsewhere, including breast distension.

Stagnation: A blockage or buildup of qi or blood that prevents it from flowing freely. Is a
precursor of illness and disease and is frequently accompanied by pain or tingling.

Stomach Heat: Too much heat in the stomach is represented by bad breath, bleeding or
swollen gums, burning sensation in the stomach, extreme thirst, frontal headaches
and/or mouth ulcers.

Summer Heat: Overactive functioning of an organ system resulting in symptoms of thirst,
aversion to heat and craving for cold, infection, inflammation, dryness, red face,
sweating, irritability, dark yellow urine, restlessness, constipation and "hyper" conditions
such as hypertension.

Sweat Therapy: The combination of group counseling/psychotherapy with group
sweating. Group sweating is social interaction while experiencing psycho physiological
responses to heat exposure. Group sweating has strong cultural validity, as it has
existed throughout the world for thousands of years to promote well-being. Examples
include the Finnish Sauna, the Russian Bania, the American Indian Sweat Lodge
Ceremony, the Islamic Hammam, the Japanese Mushi-Buro, and the African Sifutu.
Sweat therapy has been found to accelerate and intensify counseling process. Sweating
procedures are beneficial for the prevention and treatment of some lung, heart, and skin
problems. It promotes deeper sleep, pain relief, muscle relaxation, and has been helpful
in treating insomnia and arthritis. It also promotes positive effects on feeling states.

Syncope: Syncope (SIN'ko-pe) is temporary loss of consciousness and posture,
described as "fainting" or "passing out." It's usually related to temporary insufficient
blood flow to the brain. It's a common problem, accounting for 3 percent of emergency
room visits and 6 percent of hospital admissions. It most often occurs when the blood
pressure is too low (hypotension) and the heart doesn't pump a normal supply of oxygen
to the brain. It may be caused by emotional stress, pain, pooling of blood in the legs due
to sudden changes in body position, overheating, dehydration, heavy sweating or
exhaustion. Syncope may occur during violent coughing spells (especially in men)
because of rapid changes in blood pressure. It also may result from several heart,
neurologic, psychiatric, metabolic and lung disorders. And it may be a side effect of
some medicines.

Tai Chi: A set of smooth, flowing exercises used to improve or maintain health, create a
sense of relaxation and keep qi flowing.

Taiji: The supreme ultimate or great polarity. This is represented by the commonly
known yin-yang symbol and is the name given to the popular internal martial art Taiji.

320
Chuan: Great polarity fist (the word Chuan means fist, boxing, grasping but also letting
go in different contexts). It is a core principle in oriental thought and medicine. Diagnosis
uses the idea of the interconnectedness, interdependence, and mutually transforming
nature of yin and yang to understand disharmony in the person and how this affects
health.

Tantra: Emphasizes a ritual connection with elements from an Indian cultural
background. Tantric tradition uses sexual rituals for spiritual development.

Tao: The ancient philosophy of oneness in all creation.

TCM: The abbreviation for Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Therapeutic Nihilism: Skepticism regarding the therapeutic value of drugs or medical
treatment voiced by physicians. The Hippocratic Oath exhorts doctors to avoid
therapeutic nihilism.

Thomsonianism: A form of herbalism in use during the 19th century in the US.
Tibetan Eye Chart: A mandala-like chart used to improve eyesight through exercise.
Tinnitus: Causes of tinnitus include hearing loss, exposure to loud noises or medicines
you may be taking for a different problem. Tinnitus may also be a symptom of other
health problems, such as allergies, high or low blood pressure, tumors and problems in
the heart, blood vessels, jaw and neck. Treatment depends on the cause. Treatments
may include hearing aids, sound-masking devices, medicines and ways to learn how to
cope with the noise.

Tonification/Tonify: To nourish, support or strengthen the condition of qi, blood or weak
organ function.

Toxicity: Applies to any inflammation, infection or severe heat disease.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): A system of health care which is based on the
Chinese notion of harmony and balance inside the human body as well as harmony
between the body and its outside environment. The medical system that originated in
China approximately 3000 years ago. It consists of not only Acupuncture, but Herbology,
Massage (Tuina), Exercise (Tai Qi), Moxabustion, Cupping, Nutrition, and others. TCM
has its own pathology system, which uses a broader characterization of illness (Pattern
Discriminations) than Western Medicines disease based pathology system. Constantly
refined and improved over the course of its history, it offers treatments for a wide variety
of ailments, both chronic and acute. Its effectiveness, low cost, less invasive nature, and
low incidence of side-effects have made it an attractive alternative to conventional care.

Traditional Japanese Medicine: Pre-Western Japanese medicine was strongly
influenced by traditional Chinese medicine and is often seen as a sub-category of TCM.

Trigger Points: Areas of myofascial (muscle) tissue where the local circulation has been
impeded to the extent that they are held in contracture. They are exquisitely painful are
characterised by referred pain patterns. That is, the point causes pain elsewhere in the
body. They form in muscle that is held in undue stress for long periods and pain can be
managed by releasing them. The patterns of referral and common sites of trigger point
formation have been mapped and often correspond with acupuncture points and
channels.

321
Triple Burner or Triple Warmer: Represents the three production centers for warm
energy and water. The upper burner is the heart/lung system, the middle burner is the
spleen/stomach, and the lower burner is the kidney/bladder/intestines.

Triple Warmer: Also called "Triple Burner" and San Jiao in Chinese. In Oriental
Medicine, this is a yang organ or, more precisely, an "energy system that has no
equivalent in conventional medicine. The Triple Warmer is crucial to all phases of
digestion and has three parts: The Upper Burner (from mouth to Stomach); the Middle
Burner (from Stomach to Large Intestine); and the Lower Burner (from Small Intestine to
the Rectum).

Tuina: Traditional Chinese massage technique that focuses on meridians and acupoints.
Upper Warmer: Anatomical area including the head and chest.

Uropathy: A specialized branch of alternative medicine, including any sort of oral or
external application of urine for medicinal or cosmetic purposes.

Visualization: Or guided imagery, "involves a series of relaxation techniques followed by
the visualization of detailed images, usually calm and peaceful in nature. If used for
treatment, the client may visualize his/her body as healthy, strong, and free of the
specific problem or condition. Sessions, conducted in groups or one-on-one, are typically
20-30 minutes and may be practiced several times a week. Guided imagery has been
advocated for a number of chronic conditions, including headaches, stress, high blood
pressure, and anxiety."

Wei qi: Defensive energy, the TCM equivalent of the immune system.

Wei Stage of Febrile Disease: The first stage of Four Stages of Febrile Disease. The
Wei Qi is the protective Qi of the body. This stage develops when an OPI is in the first
depth of the body, with symptoms such as fever, a slight fear of cold, headache, and
coughing, slight thirst, with or without perspiration. It is often an early stage of OPI Wind-
Heat syndrome, seen with the common cold or flu.

Wei Syndrome: Weakness and eventual wasting of the musculature, especially of the
lower extremities, and the resultant impairment of motor function.

Wellness: Has been used in CAM contexts since Halbert Dunn began using the phrase
"high level wellness" in the 1950s, based on a series of lectures at a Unitarian
Universalist Church in Arlington, VA. Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy
balance of the mind-body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being.

Western Medicine: The biological and biochemistry based medical system used in the
United States and most Western nations. Sometimes people use the word Allopathy, but
this term is so broad that it includes both TCM and Western Medicine. Western Medicine
is the treatment of choice for many life-threatening conditions, including trauma, heart
attack, stroke, and cancer.

Wholeness: More than mere completeness or fullness. It implies a reality, system or
truth in which all parts or aspects are present in right and healthy relationship with each
other. This right relationshipor synergyis a major factor in the whole being "greater
than the sum or its parts". From the perspective of preferential wholeness, a healthy

322
person is more whole than an ill or injured one, and curing or fixing them is central to
their healing. In contrast, from the perspective of existential wholeness, illness and injury
are part of the larger wholeness of life, and real healing would entail appreciation and
positive engagement with illness and injury as well as wellness.

Wind In: Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, this refers to anything that has sudden
onset and movement. This may refer to sudden onset from an Outside Factor, such as
the common cold or flu (OPI Wind-Cold or Wind-Heat) as seen in an infectious or
contagious disease. Or, this may refer to sudden onset from the inside, such as Internal
Wind (often referred to as Liver Wind), where there is dizziness, tinnitus, numbness of
the limbs, tremors, convulsions and stroke (apoplexy). Because Wind is associated with
movement, it is often recognized by signs that move from place to place, such as itching
or skin eruptions that change location, spasms, tremors of the limbs, twitching,
dizziness, or joint and muscle pains that move throughout the body. Wind symptoms are
sudden and acute, frequently occurring in the spring, and commonly occur in tandem
with other external causes of illness, especially cold.

Wind: Causes the sudden movement of a condition. Examples are a rash that is
spreading, onset of colds, fever, chills, vertigo, spasms or twitches.

Wind-Cold: An OPI condition (acute, infectious disease) characterized by headache,
soreness due to obstructed Meridians; relatively severe chills; low fever; white, moist
Tongue moss; floating, tight Pulse.

Wind-Heat: An OPI condition (acute, infectious disease) similar to Wind-Cold, however
the fever tends to be higher and the chills are less pronounced; the Pulse is floating and
fast; the Tongue is dry and reddish, with a yellow moss.

Yang Deficiency: A cold condition due to lack of the heating quality of yang. Symptoms
include lethargy, poor digestion, cold, lower back pain and decreased sexual drive.

Yang: In the Taiji symbol, the white half with the seed of black in it. The parts making up
the Chinese character mean the sunny side of a hill. It describes the active part of
nature, the more airy, moving, hot and ascending qualities of the world, human
physiology or disease. Yin and yang are seen as a dynamic interface which is
interdependent, transforming and mutually supportive. There cannot be one without the
other and each contains the potential of its opposite.

Yin Deficiency: A heat condition that results in symptoms of night sweats, fever, nervous
exhaustion, dry eyes and throat, dizziness, blurred vision, insomnia and a burning
sensation in the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and the chest.

Yin: In the Taiji symbol, Yin is represented by the dark half with the seed of white in it.
The Chinese character means the dark side of a hill which shows us the roots of the
philosophy in the natural world. It describes the passive part of nature, the more solid,
grounded, still cold and descending qualities of the world, the person or illness. Yin and
yang are seen as a dynamic interface which is interdependent, transforming and
mutually supportive. There cannot be one without the other and each contains the
potential of its opposite. Represents cool and the substance of the body, including blood
and bodily fluids that nurture and moisten the organs and tissues.

323
Yoga: A diverse and ancient East Indian practice. There are many different styles and
schools of yoga. It is generally a combination of breathing exercises, physical postures,
and meditation that calms the nervous system and balances body, mind, and spirit. It is
thought to prevent specific diseases and maladies by relaxing the body, deepening
respiration and calming the mind. Yoga has been used to lower blood pressure, reduce
stress, and improve flexibility, concentration, sleep, and digestion. It has also been used
as supplementary therapy for such diverse conditions as cancer, diabetes, asthma, and
AIDS.

Zangfu: Describes the solid organs (zang) that store vital substances and the hollow
organs (fu) which are responsible for transportation.
