Chinese medicine is an ancient system of healing. The essential elements of modern “traditional Chinese medicine” or TCM for short, were put into place about 2000 years ago and documented in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine. Chinese medicine is different in many respects from Western medicine. Instead of focusing on diseases, Chinese medicines looks at patterns of disharmony in the body, mind and spirit. By re-establishing balance in the system as a whole, Chinese medicine allows the system to heal itself. It is important to understand that Chinese medicine treatments, whether it be herbs or acupuncture, are designed to create balance in the person, not treat the disease. In Chinese medicine it is said: “One disease, many treatments; one treatment, many diseases.” Holistic Chinese medicine is ideally suited for chronic diseases. You can tell if your acupuncture treatment is based on holistic Chinese medicine. If so, your practitioner will look at your tongue and pulse and ask you questions about things such as your response to hot and cold weather. Chinese herbal medicines are not used singly but in combinations (formula) designed to balance a pattern of disharmony unique to the individual. In Chinese medicine, there is not a single cure ( like a chemical drug in Western medicine). Instead, a variety of different approaches can be used for healing.
In Chinese medicine, unlike Western medicine, it is very important for the “patient” to take an active role in their search for health and balance. Diet, Chinese healing exercises and a balanced lifestyle are very important parts of getting and staying well.
