Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine is a system of healing which has been practised in China for thousands of years. Chinese medicine is based on the concepts of Yin and Yang. It aims to understand and treat the many ways in which the fundamental balance and harmony between the two may be undermined and the ways in which a person’s Qi or vitality may be depleted or blocked. Clinical strategies are base upon a diagnosis of patterns of signs and symptoms that reflect the imbalance.

 

Chinese medicine treats the body as a whole, not only the complaint, but also the balance of the body. Further more, Chinese medicine recognizes that health is more than just the absence of disease but that it has a unique capacity to maintain and enhance our capacity for well being and happiness.

Chinese medicine involves several therapeutic methods, mainly herbs and acupuncture.

 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile, disposable needles into specific acupuncture points along energy channel just beneath the body surface. When the needles are inserted, the sensation is often described as tingling or dull ache. The needles may be left in place for up to 20 minutes. During treatment, patients commonly experience a pleasant feeling of relaxation. The benefits of acupuncture are not only relief from a particular condition but also it may lead to an increase in energy levels.​

Herbal medicine

Herbs from plants such as flowers, leaves, stalks, seeds and roots form the formulae. The practitioner usually prescribes formulae rather than individual herbs. Formulae are groups of herbs working together synergistically.

 

A group of herbs is usually safer and better adapted to deal with a complex clinical condition. The practitioner prescribes a mixture of herbs to treat only your condition, so it is individual care.

 

Today herbs are applied in two ways. The modern way consists of tablets, pills or syrups. The traditional method is to process a mixture of dried herbs by boiling to make a tea which may at first taste unusual, it may seem bitter, but usually the majority of people adjust quickly to the taste. During treatment, the practitioner will closely monitor the progress by regular consultation and “fine tuning” the doses.
