Classical Chinese Medicine

Classical Chinese Medicine is a healing art which originated some 3,000 to 5,000 years ago and has been used for millennia to treat and prevent illness.

Chinese Medicine is a complete system of medicine that can be used to treat any health issue by bringing balance to the system. Signs and symptoms lead to a diagnosis centered on the individual rather than the disease.

The mental, emotional and physical symptoms are considered interrelated. Disease is viewed as a disharmony, and treatment is directed toward balance .

 

 

Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood

The Chinese system of medicine is a dynamic interplay of these five elements

and how the corresponding organ systems feed and control one another.

During a Chinese Medicine interview, all aspects of a person including the shen, vibrancy and color of the face, sound of voice, tone of skin and odor help determine a diagnosis.

Additionally, tongue and pulse diagnosis are used to help determine vitality

of internal organs and areas of excess or deficiency. Therapy may include the use of any of the following:

 

Acupuncture

the insertion of fine, sterile needles along meridians or

pathways of energy.

 

Moxabustion

the heating of the herb Mugwort on or near body parts to

stimulate or move Qi (pronounced CHEE).

 

Gua Sha

a method of scraping the skin surface with a porcelain spoon to

invigorate or move “stuck” qi.

 

Cupping

the use of glass jars and suction placed at specific points or

moved around the body to remove deep levels of stagnation along meridians.

 

Chinese Herbal formulas

and Dietary advice is tailored to the individual constitution, type of

disharmony and external factors such as climate and season.

The Chinese Medicine classics teach us that to live in harmony with

nature and the rhythms of the universe as a whole is how one stays

vital and healthy.

 

Qi Gong

Is a healing form of a martial art. Qi Gong can be used by a

practitioner during a session to invigorate or move qi in a patient.

Additionally, Qi Gong can be taught to a patient to help build strength and

qi in him/her self.
