Acupuncture plays an important role in traditional Chinese medicine, as do herbal medicine, dietetics, Tui Na (therapeutic massage) and moxibustion. Known for over 2,500 years, acupuncture heals and, above all, maintains the health of living beings, both human and animal. Derived from the observation of nature, acupuncture is based on Taoist cosmology and the notions of Yin and Yang and the 5 elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the principle that man's body and mind form a whole, and that he is interdependent with the nature that surrounds and shapes him.

It's a functional, global, holistic medicine whose therapeutic principles are based on vital functions and a physiopathology that's completely original, albeit ancestral (yin-yang syndromes, hot-cold, internal-external, fullness-emptness, etc.). Man, a veritable "road map of energy", must maintain a certain balance between his inner self and his outer environment. His vital energy, the Qi, must flow unhindered and in sufficient quantity throughout the body. Like a precision watchmaker, the acupuncturist can diagnose, prevent and treat imbalances using needles (acupuncture) or fingers (traditional Chinese energetics).

With its unique and original physiology and semiology, traditional Chinese medicine has adapted to the Western world, complementing allopathic medicine and earning its credentials by offering the public a wide range of indications.
