Why choose acupuncture and Chinese Medicine?
Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which has been
practiced and studied for 4000 years in China. TCM takes a holistic approach to
achieve a person's well-being. The essence of the TCM theory is that disease
occurs when the energy within your body is not balanced or the harmony between
you and the environment is disturbed. The following techniques are commonly
used to restore your energy equilibrium:
- Chinese Acupuncture
- Moxibution
- Herbal Medicine
- Medical Massage (Tui-Na)
- Cupping
Who would benefit from Oriental Medicine?
In 1997, the National Institute of Health (NIH) formally endorsed acupuncture:
“There is sufficient evidence of acupuncture's value to expand its use into
conventional medicine and to encourage further studies of its physiology and
clinical value."
The panel convened by NIH noted that the World Health Organization identified
more than 40 conditions for which acupuncture may be helpful. The panel
found that one of the advantages of acupuncture is that the incidence of
adverse effects is substantially lower than that of many drugs or other
accepted medical procedures used for the same condition.
