CHINESE MEDICINE

Traditional
Chinese Medicine, or TCM, is a medical
practice that is both an art and a science
of healing. Chinese Medicine is an ancient
system of healing and has a long and
impressive history, going back thousands
of years, of alleviating pain and helping
to improve the symptoms of many chronic
conditions.

TCM
sees the body as an integrated
whole. As all parts of the body
are linked in obvious or subtle
ways, disease may originate
locally or in another area of
the body
caused by an imbalance in the whole
system. The principal aim of TCM in
treating the whole person is to restore
equilibrium between the physical, emotional
and spiritual aspects of the individual. |

Chinese
Medicine does not treat specific diseases
as such, but regards each patient as
having a unique pattern of signs and
symptoms that constitute a clearly identifiable
syndrome or pattern of imbalance. This
distinctive diagnostic approach means
that each patient is treated on an individual
basis.

Traditional
Chinese Medicine is based on
the harmonious coexistence of
yin and yang. Yin is the passive,
feminine principle of nature
and yang is the active, masculine
principle. Despite many scientific
developments and innovations,
TCM philosophy and principles are still deeply rooted
in the yin and yang
theory, handed down through many
generations of theories and practices. |

Chinese
Medicine is holistic and focuses on
the unity of man with his environment
or the harmony of yin and yang. It identifies
the nature and location causing the
disease through the understanding of
the individual's environment, emotional
life and lifestyle. Thus, restoring
the yin and yang balance will achieve
harmony in the individual.
Diagnosis
is based on close examination of patient's
tongue, pulse and olfaction, as well
as palpation and auscultation. Careful
questioning is also utilised to explore
the signs and symptoms of diseases.
