yin and yang
acupuncture helps to balance the body by:
~ tonifying deficiencies (nourish the blood, Qi, and Yin)
~ sedating excesses (remove heat, damp, wind)
~ regulating Qi flow (move stuck Qi or stagnant blood)
a few examples of each imbalance:
1) blood deficiency = bruises easily, brittle hair/nails, anemic
2) excess heat, damp, wind = inflammation in the body or excessive sweating, phlegm accumulation, dizziness
3) qi stagnation = frequent sighing, easily irritable, unreleased emotions
