PHILOSOPHY OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
A fundamental concept in traditional Chinese Medicine is ‘qi’. This can be translated as the idea of ‘vital energy’ or ‘life force’. According to traditional Chinese Medicine an even distribution of qi is essential for good health.
To achieve an even spread of qi it is necessary to balance the body’s two contrasting principals – the Yin and Yang. The Yin, which is regarded as the female principle, is dark and negative. The Yang, which is regarded as the male principle, is light and positive. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, qi flows through the body in a system of channels or meridians. These connect the interior of the body to the exterior, and link all the organs of the body.
There are 12 regular medians. These connect directly to the six yin organs and to the six yang organs. In addition to these, there are eight extraordinary channels. Along each of these meridians there lies a series of ‘pressure points’. These pressure points are the focus of much traditional Chinese treatment, and at least 400 are widely recognized. Widely used methods of Traditional Chinese treatments include Acupressure, Cupping, Moxibustion, and Tuina.

 

 

ACUPRESSURE

An alternative medicine technique similar in principle to acupuncture. It involves the application of pressure to the ‘meridian’ pressure points of the body. This pressure can be applied by hand, or elbow or with various devices. Acupressure relaxes the muscles and rebalances the qi and blood, and so clears blockages in the body.

CUPPING THERAPY

Involves the application of reduced pressure to the surface of the body. This is achieved by reducing the density of air in cup through the application of either heat or reduced air pressure, and then applying it tightly to the body’s surface. The reduced air pressure acts on the underlying nerves, muscles, blood vessels and subcutaneous glands, which results in a series of neuroendorine reactions, regulates vasomotor function, and increases the permeability of blood vessels thereby improves local blood circulation, mobilizes human stem cell repair, cellular absorption. In addition, it can promote blood circulation, stimulate vitality, regulate blood chemistry, and stimulate the body’s immune system.

MOXIBUSTION THERAPY

Involves that application of mild heat to the surface of the skin using slow burning ‘sticks’ of dried herbs. Moxibustion is an important method for the prevention and treatment of a variety of illnesses.

TUINA THERAPY

Uses various manipulation techniques to reduce tension in muscle and other tissues over a wide area.
