Chinese Medicine

Chinese Medicine is a medical healing art that has been used to treat many types of acute and chronic health issues for well over 2,000 years. This system of medicine is based on the theory that illness results from the improper flow of the vital life force (qi – pronounced chee) throughout the body.

In Chinese Medicine, the practitioner is guided by a detailed history, as well as a pulse and tongue diagnosis, in determining the appropriate treatment plan that will remove any blockages in the body and restore health.

Chinese Medicine practitioners use acupuncture, heat application (moxibustion), herbal preparations, and cupping as the primary tools to help the organs regain balance and brings about resolution of symptoms.

Since the introduction of Chinese Medicine to the West, it has proven effective in enhancing and complementing Western medical treatments, as well as standing on its own as a complete and primary system of medicine.
