THE FOLLOWING ARE SYMPTOMS AND
CONDITIONS COMMONLY TREATED BY
THE WASHINGTON ACUPUNCTURE CENTER.
REJUVENATION
The condition of the skin and structures beneath it depend on health. People
could retain youthful appearance and vigor much longer if their bodies, including
all their vital organs, had correct balance of Yin-Yang energy.
Yin energy may be compared with negatively-charged electricity and Yang with positively-charged
electricity. Acupuncture theory is based on the body energy system with the acupuncture
meridians as the main pathways of energy circulation in the body. In the sense that
the nervous system can be compared with a telephone network with wires (nerve fibers)
for communication, the energy system can be compared with a radio network which does
not need wires for communication. In this analogy, the acupuncture points are broadcasting
stations which send messages to adjust the Yin-Yang energy balance in various parts
of the body for optimal health. American doctors use this concept whenever they do
an electrocardiogram or electroencephalogram.
Imbalances of Yin-Yang energy in various parts of the body may be caused by malnutrition,
injury, bacterial invasion, drugs, air and water pollution, lack of exercise and
other factors. Nutritional therapy should be used along with acupuncture. Antibiotics
should be given if necessary to treat infections, but all tranquilizers and other
chemicals which damage the brain and other body organs should be avoided.
Acupuncture treatments for achieving and maintaining the correct Yin-Yang energy
balance in all parts of the body can restore body function and eliminate the unnecessary
outward signs of aging, such as wrinkled skin and sagging muscles.
Considerable improvement in appearance and vitality is usually evident by the time
six acupuncture treatments have been given. People who keep their Yin-Yang energy
in proper balance may look and feel as much as 20 years younger than other people
their age.
