Here at Two Roots Acupuncture, the “Two Roots” are the foundation of Traditional East Asian medicine theory - the cycles of Yin and Yang. We see these two forces alternately ebbing and flowing in nature and within our bodies, in every moment and in everything. Our understanding of all things can be observed through the lens of this relationship and this integral duality that make up an inseparable wholeness. The Chinese call these two forces Yin and Yang, and we call them Two Roots. They are two parts of one whole - one tree - neither can exist without the other: “as above, so below”.In Traditional East Asian Medicine we know that observing the state of these two forces is the foundation of understanding health and how that looks for each individual. In turn, it allows us to diagnose and treat disharmony that can lead to disease, pain, and stagnation by treating the root(s) of the problem.
“The law of Yin and Yang is the natural order of the universe, the foundation of all things, mother of all changes, the root of life and death. In healing, one must grasp the root of the disharmony, which is always subject to the law of Yin and Yang.”
— Huang Di Neijing Suwen
The Law of Yin and Yang is a system of recognizing how to separate out patterns in our life while also relaxing to accept the overall whole and complete nature of everything that is.
We hope you enjoy Two Roots Acupuncture as much as we do and that it becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle, helping you to promote the balance and healing that you deserve.
“As above, so below, as within, so without”
