Chinese
Medicine - Ancient Healing Art vs Contemporary
Science?
The underlying
concepts of oriental medicine is the belief in the
innate healing capacity of the
human being, which is organic in nature and thus a part
of and influenced by natures elements,
from within and without. It searches into the depth of
diseases, and does not treat the human
body superficially.
It is interesting how medicine has not yet been able to
validate what this ancient art has
recorded for years - though correlatons between Chinese
Medicine theory & Western
Medicine symptomatology do exist. For example, the
Heart meridian runs down the arms
- known for centuries in Chinese Medicine, yet in
Western Medicine the etiology of
how arm pain preceeded heart attack had not been
quantifiable .
The
ancient healers understood these body’s disharmonies on
a more subtle level, far prior
to our scientific inquiry.The question remains - What
did they understand that our reasoning
minds do not?

Element Therapy.
In every person there is an element that has a tendency
to deficiency with particular
health consequences. The aim is to strengthen this
element, through diet and treatment,

organs of the body - Chinese herbs come
in granulated or capsule form to maximise compliance. A
complex system of herbal medicine that
tonifies the body deeply from within, concurrent to the
modalities applied externally, (such as
Acupressure, Acupuncture or Tuina,) to reestablish
equilibrium and maximise healing and
restoration.
Chinese Remedial Techniques.
Cupping
Heat is placed inside a cup to create a vacuum which is
then placed onto the skin creating a
suction effect. This is used to aid to move stagnation
and tension in muscles as well as excess
heat or cold that is contained in the body. Used in
conjunction with Chinese Herbal Salves applied
direct on the skin.
Acupressure
Body work is used to strengthen the elements and the
interconnected relationship between them.
Acupressure is perfomed without oil, over clothing - to
treat your constitutional element. It can also
be applied for balancing organ meridians that are
particluarly affected from stressful events,
illness or long term patterns.
Chinese Medicine remains an intricate art and
complementary medical practice. It excels in its
capacity to unravel the patterns preceeding health
conditions & the restoration of optimal vitality.
The active principle is to use one of a breadth of
techniques to stimulate optimal wellness
by the art of self managing, preventing and curing the
underlying cause of health imbalances.
