An Introduction of traditional Chinese medicine |
|
||||||||
|
Tradional Chinese Medicine is a complete
medical system, consisting of mainly herbal remedy and acupuncture based therapies. It was
established 4,000 years ago in China. Today, it serves over two billion
people worldwide including people live in Austrilia, Europe and USA.
Traditional Chinese Medicine views the human body as an energy (Qi) system in
which various substances interact with each other through the meridians or
‘channals’ of the body to create a dynamic balance in healthy subjects and,
by implication, an unhealthy state is characterised by a disruption of the
balance. A well-trained
Chinese doctor can easily diagnose the imbalance within your body, even
before any disease is developed. By restoring the dynamic balance of whole
body, traditional Chinese medicine not only treats your current conditions,
but also prevents diseases; therefore to maintain a good health. Herbal therapy is the most
important component of Chinese Medicine and was largely unexplored outside
China and its surrounding countries until the last decade. Over 300 Chinese
herbs are commonly used. Each herb has specific healing powers and performs a
particular job. The striking feature of Chinese herbal therapy is the
combination of several Chinese herbs based on the conditions of individual
patient. Acupuncture is aimed to
disperse any blockages of the meridians or ‘channels’ of the body at specific
acupuncture points, which would be carefully identified by a Chinese doctor
based on a sophisticated meridian theory and the blocking position of Qi at
each disease condition. Moxibustion and Cupping are two therapies used on
people with a cold or dampness condition. They can be used
alone or in combination with acupuncture. AcuMassage AcuMassage or
TuiNa uses the traditional Chinese medical theory as its basic therapeutic
orientation. This ancient Chinese bodywork is now gaining rapid acceptance in
the Western world as a powerful therapeutic extension of traditional Western
massage methods, such as the Swedish-style massage. |
