TCM is slowly gaining popularity competing with traditional Indian systems of medicine. China always has two schools of medicine namely Allopathy and TCM. It is a system of medicine which is more than 2500 years old. It employs the fact that disease in the body comes on because of meridian ( energy ) channels that are blocked.
It uses a dynamic process over material structure. It employs the use of herbal medicines which are predominantly plant based acupuncture, burning and reflexology.
How does TCM work?
Disease, alterations in the normal flow of qi such that yin and yang are imbalanced, is thought to have three major causes: external or environmental factors, your internal emotions, and lifestyle factors, such as diet. Through the use of its therapeutic modalities, TCM stimulates the body’s own healing mechanisms. Practices used in TCM include:
- Acupuncture and acupressure
- Moxibustion, burning an herb near the skin
- Herbal medicine
- Nutrition
- Chinese massage, called tui na
- Exercise, such as tai chi and qi gong which combine movement with meditation
In TCM, the body’s internal organs are thought of not only as individual structures but also as complex networks. We offer TCM – External treatment, we will review your medical history, assess your current medical condition and offer best treatment.
