Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has provided effective natural healthcare for over 5,000 years and it is the oldest documented medicine in the world. It is a unique holistic system that promotes health by restoring balance within the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the meridian system in the human body is responsible for transporting the body’s “qi”, “blood” and “blood”. These transported substances circulate in the body to maintain balance and stability of various tissues and organs in the body. However, when the meridian system is blocked, it affects the transportation of these substances and causes “evil” (various factors that cause disease) to invade. At this time, the human body will begin to have abnormal diseases. When the needle is inserted into the human body, it will cause the body’s own reaction, strengthen the blood circulation, overcome the obstruction of the meridian, and restore the meridian system to normal, and the disease can be cured.
The scope of Chinese medicine is very wide, including Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping, Tuina, Acupressure, Herbal medicine, etc. all in the one field.
Chinese medicine is considered complementary and is frequently used with Western Medicine. It is safe, clinically proven, and effective. It is especially useful when patients have not adequately responded to conventional medicine or therapy.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an effective medical treatment which has been performed for thousands of years. Use disposable needles according to the acupoints on the acupuncture prescription insert into skin where the therapeutic effect is expected to come primarily from the act of inserting, manipulating and/or retaining the needles in specific locations, let Qi such as a life force energy flow from the body’s primary organs (zang-fu organs) to the “superficial” body tissues of the skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and joints, through channels called meridians. Acupuncture can keep the meridians unobstructed and exert its normal physiological functions. Often people with blocked channels and collaterals will have no qi and blood. Will show edema, swelling, ecchymosis and other symptoms, which can be effectively relieved after acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture has the effect of reconciling yin and yang. Imbalance of yin and yang means that the balance of the body is broken. At this time, acupuncture can gradually balance the body and bid farewell to disease.
Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion, more commonly called “moxa”, is an herbal therapy in which the dried herb Artemisia Vulgaris is burned and held over specific acupuncture points. The patient will usually describe the treatment as a pleasant, warming sensation. Moxa is used to treat chronic pain, low energy, and – believe it or not – can be used to turn a breech baby!
Fire Cupping
Fire Cupping therapy is a traditional Chinese treatment. This therapy is a method that uses heat to remove the air in the glass cup and uses negative pressure to make it suck on the skin, causing blood stasis. Cupping brings old stagnant blood to the surface of the skin causing redness and temporary bruising in the shape of the cup used. This minor bruising can last up to a week in some cases. The immune system is triggered to clean out this old blood and deliver new oxygenated blood to the surrounding tissues for healing and rejuvenation. This is particularly helpful when one is undergoing detoxification or has an acute/chronic injury.
Some people believe that this therapy can dispel cold and dampness, dredge the meridians, remove stagnation, promote qi and blood circulation, reduce swelling and pain, remove toxins and relieve heat, and has the functions of adjusting the balance of yin and yang of the human body, relieving fatigue, and strengthening physical fitness, so as to strengthen the body and relieve the body. Evil, the purpose of curing diseases.
Dietary Evaluations
Diet is a key component to one’s health and not everyone responds well to the same foods. Knowing which foods may help or aggravate one’s condition will be extremely valuable on a journey to better health. The dietary principle of Chinese medicine is to provide a corresponding diet according to the specific needs of the individual body and adjust the content and amount of food consumed daily according to the individual health goals to bring about balance in the body.
Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine makes use of substances found in nature many of which have antiviral, antibacterial and antiseptic properties. After doctor dialectical analysis and a clear diagnosis, the legislation is determined, and then select the corresponding herbs and determine the dosage, and then follow a certain composition principle and structure, and the combination of group drugs which is individual herbal formulas. Herbal formulas are administered in Gao (syrups), Tang (decoction), Wan (pills) and San (powders).
