Eastern Medicine & Healing

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) combines various treatment methods to restore and maintain health conditions according to the root cause. By treating the cause and not just the symptoms, the body can function more efficiently ensuring better health.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of Diagnosis and healthcare that may be traced back to China as far as 5000 years for the herbal and 2500 years for the Acupuncture. TCM see the individual as an integral mind body organism. It is based on a holistic concept designed to cure illness and maintain health and well being. TCM ventures to stimulate the body’s natural healing potential by treating the root cause through various modalities, acupuncture, herbal medicine, Tui Na Massage, dietary therapy, and qiqong (Chinese yoga). If balance is restored, the person heals. It is these disruptions in balance that are responsible for disease.

In the west TCM is often considered “alternative medicine”. However in both mainland China and Taiwan, TCM is considered to be an integral part of their health care system. Acupuncture is endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the National Institute of Health (NIH).
