Chinese
Medicine, over 2000 years old, is an ancient form of
medicine. Consisting of acupuncture, moxibustion (moxibustion - using
material made up of "moxa-wool," in a form of a cone or stick;
moxibustion is used to treat and prevent disease by applying heat to
pints or certain locations of the human body), herbal medicine,
acupressure, cupping, therapeutic exercise and nutrition, traditional Chinese
medicine is notated by its principle of internal balance and
harmony, or "chi," (life force) regulation through energy channels.
In essence, Chinese
medicine is widely known for its acupunture techniques and
herbology. Founded on the Yin and Yang principle, the five elements and
Zang Fu, Chinese
medicine is an evolutional treatment in modern Western
civilization. Chinese
medicine also uses Qi Gong and Tai Qi Chuan in its
methodology. Incorporating supplemental elements in a nutritious diet
such as vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements are fundamental
treatments in Chinese
medicine as well.
Overall, Chinese
medicine can be utilized to treat allergies, arthritis pain,
weight control, quitting smoking, back injury pain, musculosceletal
pain, fatique, stress, TMJ and PMS. Other illnesses and conditions that
can be helped with Chinese medicine are digestive problems, menstrual
problems, and urinary problems. If you are interested in obtaining more
