Qi - Qi (pronounced chee) can be defined as the "air" or "vital substance" that animates and controls the observable functions of living beings. The basic foundation for Oriental medicine is that this vital substance flows through the body on channels known as meridians that connect all of our major organs. According to Oriental medical theory, illness arises when the cyclical flow of Qi in the meridians becomes unbalanced or is blocked.

The basis of acupuncture is expressed in this famous Chinese saying: "Bu tong ze tong, tong ze bu tong" which means "free flow: no pain, no free flow: pain."

In other words, any kind of pain or illness represents an obstruction in the normal flow of Qi or life force. Simply put, acupuncture and herbals moves, and regulates Qi, restoring free flow.
Acupuncture points are areas of designated electrical sensitivity that have been shown to be effective in the treatment of many specific health problems. They have been mapped out by the Chinese over a period of over 2000 years.
