WHAT IS CHINESE MEDICINE?
Chinese Medicine is the original traditional medicine system of the chinese people which has developed over the last five thousand years. Within China it has equal status with conventional western medicine and both are practised in an integrated way whilst still retaining their respective unique medical approaches

Traditional Chinese Medicine encompasses the therapies of Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Moxibustion, Cupping, Physical Therapy (Tui Na), Massage (An Mo) Therapeutic Exercises (Tai Ji Quan and Qi Gong) and Nutrition,

Central to Chinese Medicine is the idea of Qi and how it moves and flows and interpenetrates the tissues and organs of the body. Good health depends on the free harmonious movement of this Qi throughout the body. When this flow is obstructed or is out of harmony, pain, illness or lack of vitality can result. Chinese Medicine.focuses on promoting and rebalancing the flow of Qi throughout the body to return it to health.

Unlike conventional medicine, which tends to see disease in terms of the component part of the body which presents symptoms, Chinese Medicine emphasizes a holistic systemic approach that treats the organism - the whole person.
