Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) is a complete health system comprising acupuncture, acupressure, herb medicine, Tui Na( Medical massage), exercise and lifestyle prescriptions. It has been practised for thousands of years. Chinese herbal medicine is one of the great herbal systems of the world, with an unbroken tradition going back to the 3rd century BC. Yet throughout its history it has continually developed in response to changing clinical conditions, and has been sustained by research into every aspect of its use. This process continues today with the development of modern medical diagnostic techniques and knowledge. The TCM approach is fundamentally different from that of Western medicine.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been an essential part of medicine for thousands of years in China. Acupuncture is a safe and effective method of treatment for many common ailments. Acupuncture encourages the body to promote natural healing and improve functioning.
The practice of acupuncture and moxibustion is based on the theory of meridians. According to this theory, "Qi"(energy) circulate in the body through a system of channels called meridians, connecting internal organs with external organs or tissues. These stimulation points are called acupuncture points, or acupoints. In acupuncture clinics, the practitioner first selects appropriate acupoints along different meridians based on identified health problems. Then very fine and thin needles are inserted into these acupoints. The needles are made of stainless steel and vary in length from half an inch to 3 inches.
Physicians in the world have yet to figure out exactly how this technique works. More and more scientific studies are offering real evidence that it can ease pain and treat ailments.The Modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system.
Herbal Medicine
Together with acupuncture, herbal medicine is a major pillar of Chinese medicine. The Chinese pharmacopoeia lists over 6,000 different medicinal substances in terms of their properties and the disharmonies that they were helpful with. There are about 600 different herbs in common use today. The majority of herbs are derived from the plants, using the radix, rhizome, folium, and fructus of the plant, depending on the nature of the illness. They may include the leaf, flower, twig, fruit, stem, root, tuber, rhizome, and bark. Some Chinese medicines are from animals which we will not use here.
Herbal medicine has been used for over thousands of years, proving that it is a safe and effective method of treatment for many diseases. Most of the components of natural herbal medicine have a very low toxicity compare to over-the-counter chemical drugs. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, two-hundred and ninety people in the United States are killed by prescription drugs every day ( Starfield, B. (2000). The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Vol 284, No 4. Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health). Although herbal medicines are safe when prescribed by a trained and knowledgeable practitioner, they are still medicines. Patients should ask about where the practitioner was well trained, how long he/she has been in practice, and what experience the practitioner has had in treating the patient's specific ailment.
Natural Medicine is traditional medicine and not an alternative. It is wholistic medicine because we treat the mind, body and spirit as a whole. It originated in the Orient, but is now used all over the world, in countries such as China, Korea, Japan, India, Germany, France, Britain, Switzerland, United States, Canada, Russia, Romania, Mexico, and Australia.
Tui Na(Chinese Massage)
Tui Na is a form of medical massage that employs the use of the hands to press on key points of the body to stimulate the body’s own natural healing process.
Tui Na is a hands on therapy and the practitioner can stimulate many points during a single treatment. Tui Na and acupuncture use the same meridians and acupoints. When these points are stimulated, they release tension and increase the body’s circulation of blood and nutrients to bring about the body’s own healing process. It can alleviate all manner of muscula-skeletal conditions: relaxing the nerves system,improving blood and lymph circulation, eliminating wastes and toxins, increasing circulation and creates a tangible sense of well being.
Tui Na can be effective in helping relieve headache, migraine, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle pain, strain, menstrual pain, small joint dislocations, traumatic injuries, insomnia, stress, constipation, diarrhoea, bell’s palsy, trigger finger, swollen knee, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, sciatic pain, back pain and more.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a natural and holistic anti-ageing treatment that aims to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and hyper-pigmentation. As a consequence, the whole body will be benefit as well.
Cosmetic Acupuncture will require a course of treatment to show pronounced results. The whole face is treated and as body points are also used, a patient's health and wellbeing can be greatly improved by undertaking a series of treatments. This treatment also works on lifting the face, particularly where the face begins to sag around the 'jowls' and the cheek area, rather than simply targeting wrinkles.
