What is Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine?
Acupuncture, Acupressure, Chinese Herbology and Food Therapy is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a complete medical system that has diagnosed, treated and prevented illness for centuries. TCM utilizes Acupuncture and Herbs to treat all ailments, especially those for which Western Medicine has little to offer or those with which Western Medicine causes undesirable side effects. Unlike surgery and medications, Acupuncture and Herbology have virtually no side effects, yet it yields excellent results for a wide variety of conditions. TCM also uses Auriculotherapy (Ear Acupuncture) as an aid in treating many conditions, as well as being an adjunct therapy to curtail smoking, treat eating disorders, and drug and alcohol addiction. Chinese Medicinal Cooking or Food Therapy is tasty and nutritional, and can be geared both towards your health and your tastes. Therapeutic use of diet and nutrition, tailored to the individual, is a powerful tool to supplement any healing process.
TCM also incorporates Moxabustion Therapy. This is a therapeutic method that prevents and treats diseases by applying heat to certain points on the body. The heat is produced by burning a particular species of the wormwood herb, known for its warmth and healing effects. Another TCM method of treatment is Cupping Therapy. With this method, small glass cups are used to stimulate blood circulation, usually to relieve pain.
