Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture are ancient forms of medicine that have been used to treat the body, mind and spirit for over 3,000 years.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete and vital holistic system of health and healing developed in China thousands of years ago. It is rooted in meticulous observation of nature, the heavens, and the body. Much of the philosophy of TCM derives from the same philosophy that fosters Taoist and Buddhist thought wherein these principles provide a perspective for living in synchronicity and harmony with the natural course of the universe. Based on the notion of harmony and balance in nature, TCM accepts, as truth, the idea that the laws of nature can also be applied to understand the inner workings of the human body, including one’s emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects.
The functional approach of TCM views life as a dynamic process involving the interaction of forces and energies both within and outside an individual. It views well-being as an active balance between these internal and external forces. An imbalance causes disharmony in the body and, unless corrected, may eventually lead to disease.
Health is seen as the ability to respond appropriately to a variety of challenges in a way that insures maintaining the balance of Yin and Yang. The goal of TCM is to maintain a state of dynamic balance, like nature.
Acupuncture is part of a Taoist system of medicine that considers each individual as an integral sum of the physical,emotional, and spiritual aspects, constantly flowing, changing, & affecting one another. All practitioners of TCM seek to achieve balance in the human system by addressing the root cause of the disease and the presenting symptoms.
