Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which includes both Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture, is an ancient method of health care. It has been used over 4000 years as a safe and effective means to holistic health and overall well-being. Rather than perceiving the human body as a simple assemblage of various organ systems, Chinese medicine regards the human body as a non-decomposable unit. Within the unit there are many pairs of balanced forces, general known as the YIN and the YANG, that determine our state of health. When the YIN and the YANG are in balance, we feel healthy and energetic. However, when there is an imbalance between them, we feel ill.
Acupuncture is one of therapeutic methods of TCM, which helps to improve the flow or quality of the life force, and to re-balance body energies. During an acupuncture treatment session, fine stainless steel needles are inserted into the skin at very specific points. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the ability of acupuncture and Oriental medicine to treat over 43 commonly encountered clinical disorders. It is also used as a preventative measure because it strengthens the body's immune system. The acupuncture needles are sterile and they are disposed after each treatment. FEES:
