How Does Acupuncture Work?

Many people experience the myriad benefits of acupuncture but how exactly does it work in the human body. Acupuncture treatments are centered around increasing the functioning of the body. When a body is not functioning properly, Chinese medical theory states that yin and yang are out of balance. What is yin and yang in the human body. Before we describe yin and yang in the body let's describe yin and yang in the world around us. When day turns into night, that's an example of yang(day) turning into yin(night). When summer turns into fall and subsequently winter this is an example of yang(summer) transforming into yin(winter).
You can count of the flow of the seasons coming and going, year after year. You can also count on thes yin/yang effects in your body:

•  Hot and cold
•  Sweating not sweating 
• excessive periods and scanty periods
•  diarreah or constipation 

The above are just a list of some of the symptoms that might occur in your body that TCM classifies as yin/yang. There is an infinite amount of ways to categorize specific syndromes. This is where the art and expertise of the individual practitioner come in handy. Here at Aventura Acupuncture all of our physicians are highly trained and experienced in the filed of TCM


The goal of the acupuncture physician is to balance these elements in your body in a natural way.
