What Is Chinese Medicine?

Chinese Medicine is a broad range of medicine practices that have been developed in China based on tradition for more than 2,000 years. Herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary medicine, massage and exercise is used to achieve the desired outcomes.

When healthy, an abundant flow of ‘qi’, known as life energy, flows through the body’s meridians. If the qi flow becomes disrupted or blocked, the body fails to maintain harmony and balance which can lead to disease or illness. A disruption could be a result of stress, poor diet, medication, pathogens and weather or environmental change. A Chinese Medicine practitioner will endeavour to restore your body’s qi to maintain a healthy balance and avoid disease or illness.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of primary health care that includes acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion and diet and lifestyle advice. It is a safe and effective form of natural health care which can provide relief for many conditions such as Insomnia and fatigue, digestive disorders, infertility, menopause, common cold and influenza, allergies, headaches and much more.
