Traditional Chinese Acupuncture Theory of Action:

 Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) viewed disease as an imbalance of the
organs, yin, yang and chi in the body. It is believed that when energy flow is
obstructed, interrupted or unbalanced illness may occur.

 Fundamental to TCM are the concepts of yin and yang, opposite but
complementary forces whose perfect balance within the body is essential for
well-being.

 Yin signifies cold, damp, darkness, stillness, and contraction;
 Yang signifies heat, dryness, light, action, and expansion.
