Acupuncture is more than just needles. âQiâ is roughly pronounced âcheeâ, and is the Chinese name for a concept that exists not only in Chinese medicine, but in other types of eastern whole medicine systems as well.Qi is what makes up our bodyâs fundamental consitution.here are over a thousand known acupuncture points on the body. The connections between the acupuncture points ensure that there is an even circulation of qi, a balance between Yin and Yang. When illness or disease occurs, it points to an imbalance between Yin and Yang.
Chinese doctors may use several types of treatment to restore qi balance. Chinese medicine therapies include: 1  Acupuncture, which uses thin metal needles placed along the body's meridians.2  Acupressure, which uses the hands or fingers to apply direct pressure to points along the body's meridians.hinese medicine is a system of medicine partly based on the idea that an energy, called qi (say chee), flows along pathways in the body called meridians. In this belief, if the flow of qi along these meridians is blocked or unbalanced, illness can occur.
