Chinese
medicine is a system of diagnosis, healthcare, and disease prevention
that has evolved over the last 3,000 years. This unique way of understanding
the human body is based on Chinese philosophy and a rich empirical tradition.
The body
is viewed as a bioelectric system with defined pathways called channels
that carry life energy, referred to as Qi. When the flow of Qi is abundant
and harmonious, there is health and well being. Conversely, insufficient
or blocked Qi flow results in disease. Every therapeutic technique of
Chinese medicine, from acupuncture and herbal therapy to moxabustion,
tui na, and cupping, is focused on restoring the free flow of Qi.
Patients from infants to senior citizens can experience the benefits of
Chinese medicine, which include increased vitality, immune enhancement,
pain relief, and rejuvenation.
