Chinese Medicine & Herbs

Chinese Medicine and Herbs

Chinese Medicine dates back 5000 years. The theory is based on the knowledge that an unseen energy or "chi" flows throughout the body indicating health. When we feel unwell or have symptoms then our chi is not flowing properly. It is impaired by moving more slowly or being stagnant. A Chinese Medicine Doctor or practitioner will asses you based your symptom explanation along with using pulse, observation of pallor, skin tone, and perhaps tongue assessment. When it is determined what may be out of balance a complex system of techniques can be employed to help bring the body back into homeostasis. Some of the techniques can include, moxa, cupping, herbs, heat, diet and homework. The key and basis of Chinese Medicine is to treat the cause of dis-ease in the body and therefore symptoms are reduced or eliminated.
