Qi is a fundamental concept of traditional chinese culture. Qi is believed to be part of every living thing that exists, as a kind of “life force” or “spiritual energy”. It is frequently translated as "energy flow", or literally as "air" or "breath". In Mandarin Chinese it is pronounced something like "chee" in English.
Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating
filiform needles into points on the body with the aim of restoring health
and well-being, and particularly treating pain. Acupuncture is thought
to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Health is a condition of balance of Yin-Yang within the body. Particularly
important in acupuncture is the free flow of Qi, a difficult-to-translate
concept that pervades Chinese philosophy and is commonly translated
as "vital energy"). Acupuncture treatment regulates the flow
of Qi and Blood, tonifying where there is deficiency, draining where
there is excess, and promoting free flow where there is stagnation.
An axiom of the medical literature of acupuncture is "no pain,
no blockage; no blockage, no pain".
TCM treats the human body as a whole that involves several "systems
of function" generally named after anatomical organs but not directly
associated with them. The Chinese term for these systems is Zang Fu,
where zang is translated as "viscera" or solid organs and
fu is translated as ""bowels" or hollow organs.
