Chinese medicine is based on a pre-scientific understanding of medicine that developed over thousands of years. The theory of acupuncture holds that health is a condition of balance of yin and yang within the body. What is considered to be very important in acupuncture is the free flow of Qi, a concept in Chinese philosophy translated as "vital energy". Qi is immaterial and hence yang; its yin, material counterpart is Blood (capitalized to distinguish it from physiological blood). Acupuncture controls the flow of Qi and Blood. Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the human body as a whole that involves several "systems of function". Disease is understood as a loss of balance of Yin, Yang, Qi and Blood. Treatment of disease is attempted by modifying the activity of one or more systems of function through the activity of needles, pressure, heat, etc. on sensitive parts of the body.
