Why is Acupuncture holistic?
|
According to the principles upon which acupuncture is based, man posses as an indivisible unity of body-mind-spirit. Consequently, it is not enough for the acupuncturist to treat just symptoms; the mandate of the skilled acupuncturist is to treat the whole person and remove the cause of disease. When the case of disease is identified and removed, just as day follows night, symptoms will disappear and balance and harmony is restored within the body.
