Acupuncture
Principles of Treatment
(1) TREAT THE ROOT CAUSE ONLY
Generally speaking, treating the root ( the upright Qi / the root of disease / a chronic disease ), only is sufficient to clear all clinical manifestations or outward signs (the pathogenic factors / the clinical manifestations / an acute disease ).
(2) TREAT THE MANIFESTATION FIRST AND THE ROOT LATER
Under certain circumstances the root becomes secondary and the manifestation needs to be treated first and usually urgently too.
(3) TREAT BOTH THE ROOT AND THE MANIFESTATION
This approach is widely used in practice. In chronic cases when the clinical manifestations are severe and distressing for the patient, it is necessary to treat both.
