Chinese Herbs and Acupuncture
Chinese
medicine is an ancient system of healing developed over thousands
of years in China, Japan and other eastern countries. It is a
complete medical system that restores and maintains health either
by insertion of fine needles into points just beneath the body
surface which life is specific locations on channels of energy,
or by using naturally occurring substances which have treated
and prevented illness for over 23 centuries.
What Can It Help?
While it can remedy illness, chinese medicine can also enhance recuperative
power, immunity and the
capacity for pleasure, work and creativity. Chinese medicine can be used
to treat a wide variety of
conditions, both acute and chronic, gynaecological, gastrointestinal,
psychological (i.e. anxiety or panic
attacks), orthopaedic and paediatric problems, as well as infectious diseases
such as colds and flu. It is
also used for pregnancy management and delivery. While extensive practice
and research has shown that
chinese medicine is effective in helping people with specific conditions
it does more than simply relieve
symptoms.
Your Consultation
The
aim is to treat the whole person and restore balance between physical,
emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual. In traditional
chinese medicine since all illness is considered the result of
an imbalance of energy, treatment can benefit almost any ill person
as long as the degenerative process in the body tissues is not
too extensive. Many people also come for treatment as a preventative
measure or because they feel unwell in themselves but are not
'ill' in the Western sense.
