Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chinese Medicine is holistic and has long history For over 4000 years, the Chinese have been using Traditional Chinese Medicine as a safe, effective means to holistic health and well being. Rather than perceiving the human body as a simple assemblage of various organ systems, Chinese medicine regards it a non-decomposable unit..

Traditional Chinese Medicine is an ancient method of health care that combines the use of the following treatment:
1. Chinese Herbal Medicine
2. Acupuncture ( includes moxibustion and suction cupping)
3. Tui Na (Chinese Massage, Acupressure)
4. Food Therapy
5. Chinese therapeutic exercises (TaiChi and QiGong)

1. Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbology is the major part of the system of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The herbal medicine consists of a huge collection of plants and other materials, such as insects or minerals, have own, different and specific properties and effects to our body that, when knowledgeably used, can have dramatic healing effects. The practice of Chinese herbology is an art, for the combining of herbs into just the right formula takes a great deal of skill and knowledge. A formula may contain 10-15 herbs. Each formula is consisted of a chief herb, a few assistant herbs, and a courier herb to take the medicine to the site of the "lesion". Each herb in the formula has a different role works synergistically with the others to bring about the therapeutic effect.

Chinese herbal medicine is traditionally used for internal organ imbalances. It is often used complementary with acupuncture and often used together in the same treatment. Each system affects the Qi of the body in specific ways. In many instances, herbal remedies are used to supplement the body's Qi, and acupuncture is used to manipulate Qi, focusing it where it is needed.

The conventional method of applying herb therapy is to make a decoction - a strong "tea" made by simmering raw herbs in water. Traditionally, a specially glazed clay teapot is used to make the tea. Since the decoction method is time consuming, and the taste of the decoction is unpalatable to many, two alternative methods were developed - pulverized herbs in capsules, and concentrated Chinese herbal granules.

Concentrated Chinese herbal granules are a representation of a new generation of Chinese herbal products, and offer a safe and convenient means of using herbs. They are extracts of herbs and carry the same potency.

2. Acupuncture
Acupuncture, with its accompanying techniques of moxibustion and cupping, is the most popular therapies of TCM. Acupuncture is used primarily for patients with pains and feels out of balance. It is very effective for many types of sickness. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the ability of acupuncture and Oriental medicine to treat over 43 commonly encountered clinical disorders. Acupuncture is particularly helpful for disable patients after stoke. It is also used as a preventative medicine because it strengthens the body's immune system. During an acupuncture treatment, fine stainless steel needles are inserted into the skin at very specific points. The acupuncture needles are sterile and are disposed of after each treatment.

3. Tui Na (Chinese Massage, Acupressure)
Tui Na (Also known as Chinese masssage or acupressure) is a form of Asian bodywork that uses touch to balance the body's energy. It is most closely resembling conventional western massage. Many of the techniques are similar - gliding (known as effleurage or Tui), kneading (petrissage or Nie), percussion (tapotement or Da), friction, pulling, rotation, rocking, vibration, and shaking. Tui Na offers all the benefits of traditional western massage, plus the ability to address and mitigate specific health concerns.

Despite the similarities, the intent of Tui Na is more specifically therapeutic than the simple relaxation of a western massage.

One of Tui Na's advantages over simple massage is its ability to focus on specific problems, especially chronic pain associated with the muscles, joints, and skeletal system. It's especially effective for joint pain (such as arthritis), sciatica, muscle spasms, and pain in the back, neck, and shoulders. It also helps chronic conditions such as insomnia, constipation, headaches (including migraines), and the tension associated with stress.

Tui Na does not simply work on the muscles, bones, and joints. It works with the energy of the body at a deeper level. As the practitioner senses the client's body with her hands, she is able to assess the distribution of energy and affect its flow.

A typical Tui Na session uses various strokes along energy channels, as well as gentle shaking, stretching, and joint movements. This stimulates and releases the flow of energy, which helps balance your physical and emotional

Tui Na uses rhythmic compression along energy channels of the body, as well as a variety of techniques that manipulate and lubricate the joints. Tui Na directly affects the flow of energy by holding and pressing the body at acupressure points.

4. Food Therapy
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbs and food go hand in hand in influencing the body's energy fields. It follows that a patient's diet must align with medications taken for benefits to be realized. Chinese dietary supervision is a sophisticated system that evaluates food according to its properties and therapeutic value. Whole-grain products, beans, fresh vegetables, and mushrooms are frequently recommended. TCM practitioners, on the other hand, advise patients to avoid raw food, because it is too "cold"; white sugar, because it is too rich and would over-stimulate the pancreas and liver; strong spices, for they disperse energy to the surface of the body. Patients are also advised to shun coffee, because it overtaxes the adrenals; cold dairy products, because they are too congesting; and shellfish and citrus, because they are too "cold" and "moist".

5. Chinese therapeutic exercises
Another component of Traditional Chinese Medicine used in the treatment of diseases especially cancer is Chinese therapeutic exercise. It comes in two forms: tai-chi and chi-gong. The purpose of both exercises is to enable a person to regulate and direct the flow of qi within his or her own body. A student in exercise training is taught to focus his or her qi in a place two inches below the navel, called the dan tian, or vital center. From this center, the qi is said to emanate to distant regions of the body. Upon practice, students can sense the presence of qi at the vital center in the form of localized warmth and can then direct the life energy to specific parts of the body. For many patients, practitioners prescribe exercises that specifically address the patients' illnesses.

The perspective of TCM on tai-chi and chi-gong differs from that of western medicine in that Chinese medicine believes that these exercises energize the body's vital forces, balances yin and yang, strengthens blood circulation, and improves the patient's emotional and mental states. Western medicine believes that the exercises, like yoga, increase the absorption and utilization of oxygen.

Through intensive practice of chi-gong, an entire set of beneficial psychological and spiritual conditions emerges. In promoting emotional well-being, chi-gong exercises help build confidence among patients in their battle against cancer. Many cancer patients, who have practicing chi-gong and tai-chi, have noted that a positive attitude plays an important role in the curing of the disease.
