Chinese Medicine It's more than Acupuncture Chinese Medicine is vastly more than acupuncture. It is a system that combines therapies such as: Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping, TuiNa Massage, Herbal remedies, as well as incorporating dietary, exercise and lifestyle recommendations. By combining these therapies Chinese Medicine's goal is to maintain health, prevent, and treat disease. A complete Chinese Medical pracitce will incorporate all these modalities to not only improve your health, but to help you to participate in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Chinese Medicine is the culmination of thousands of years of observing the human condition. It is a unique system that relies on the vast amount of, historical and current, clinical experience and medical knowledge continuously accumulated within a large population over a long duration of time. Through the understanding that the body is not only an organic whole but also an entity within nature, Chinese Medicine uses various theories to describe these intricate relationships. These theories include: Yin & Yang, Five Elements, Channels, Organ systems, Jing-Qi-Shen, etc. A common thread throughout all of Chinese Medicine is: The key to health and wellness is to live in balance with all of nature's influences. Though Chinese Medicine started empirically with clinical experience, its effectiveness has been moving it in the direction of scientific research and understanding; thus leading to greater integration. In many parts of the world the practice of integrating medical systems has not only been out of economic necessity but also to improve quality of life. Combining these types of therapies cannot only have a greater effect on relieving symptoms but also reducing medical costs and the need for various medications. For thousands of years Chinese Medicine has continually developed methods of treatment for the ever changing conditions which plague society. Its integration with other medical system is its most recent development. Chinese Medicine may have its foundation in tradition, but it has always and will always continue to adapt and thus be modern. For more information on Chinese Medicine please see the Links section. |
