Traditional Chinese Medicine
What is TCM?
Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, is the original Body-Mind-Spirit medical system. It has been in continual use for thousands of years to treat, diagnose, and prevent disease and disharmony. It is based on the understanding that you were born with a self-healing ability. TCM practitioners help recharge this function in your body in different ways. By increasing and balancing your Qi, you give your body and you’re being the healing support it needs through these natural healing practices of Acupuncture, Qigong and Herbs.
Acupuncture
The use of acupuncture needles targets specific acupoints along the meridians to effectively relieve energy blockages, promoting a smooth flow of Qi. This ancient practice can also realign an organ's function, contributing to the restoration of internal balance and harmony among the body's organs. Experience the transformative benefits of acupuncture for your overall well-being.
Qigong Healing
Medical Qigong is energy healing at the highest level, a therapy that goes beyond the mind to strengthen your connection to the invisible Lifeforce for healing purposes. Although not yet well known well in the west, Medical Qigong is one of the deepest, most powerful paths to healing, capable of remarkable outcomes.
Herbal Therapy
For thousands of years, TCM has harnessed the power of herbal therapy as a cornerstone of healing. This ancient practice meticulously identifies and categorizes the essential properties of countless herbs, revealing their profound effects on the body, mind, and spirit. Embracing these natural remedies can lead to holistic wellness and a deeper connection to your health.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a complete and separate system of medicine that has been used in China and Asia for over 3,000 years and is now used widely throughout the world. Acupuncture is truly a holistic mind/body/spirit medicine and is safe, effective and causes no side effects.
Acupuncture consists of the gentle insertion and stimulation of thin, disposable sterile needles at strategic points near the surface of the body. Over 2,000 acupuncture points on the human body connect with 14 major pathways, called meridians. These meridians conduct Qi (life-force or energy), between the surface of the body and internal organs.
What is Qi?
At the core of existence is energy. When exploring Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), one cannot overlook the concept of Qi (chee), the vital life force that flows within you and surrounds you. Qi is foundational to TCM, embodying its essence. With thousands of years of direct observation and deep experiential knowledge of Qi, this holistic medicine offers a comprehensive understanding of energy, including how it moves and functions in the body and throughout nature. TCM's profound insights and expertise in energy make it a powerful approach to health and wellness.
Harmony and Balance
through Qi
It is Qi that harmonizes spiritual, emotional, mental and physical balance. When the flow of Qi is disrupted through illness, injury, poor health habits, or other circumstances, pain and/or disease can result. Acupuncture and Qigong helps to keep the normal flow of this energy unblocked, thereby enhancing the body’s natural tendency and ability to heal itself.
The Five Element Consciousness Framework
This comprehensive system categorizes various aspects of life, including internal organs, into five universal interacting groups or patterns. According to the five-element theory, each organ is linked to a specific emotion. Therefore, the expression and intensity of any emotion are closely connected to the functioning of its corresponding organ.
The liver is associated with anger
The heart is associated with joy
The spleen is associated with worry
The lungs are associated with grief
The kidneys are associated with fear
Meridians
Meridians are vital pathways throughout the body, facilitating the flow of Qi and connecting various organs. This intricate network allows energy to circulate freely, with specific points that can be stimulated through techniques like acupuncture. By targeting these points, you can effectively balance the flow of Qi and enhance your overall well-being.
Yin/Yang Theory
Yin/Yang theory describes the dynamic flow of energy that continuously maintains and supports balance. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) utilizes and applies the principles of Yin and Yang to help harmonize your body, mind, emotions, and spirit. This process also aims to align your individual energy with the natural world.
