How
Does Traditional Chinese Medicine Work
TCM has a natural
healing effect and is aimed at treating the cause of the decease
rather that the symptoms, therefore an overall holistic approach
is the usual course of action. Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine is
based on various methods such as tongue, pulse and verbal expression.
The energy in the body is called Ch'i and is though to be the
life force that all our bodies must have in balance. Today's society
demands that all methods of treatment be explored, therefore we
look at the use of Acupressure, electrical impulse and acupuncture
(the use of very fine needles), we also use Moxabation. Moxa is
a dried herb usually rolled in to a stick then set alight to and
burned over the acu-point and is commonly used in conjunction
with some treatments to aide speedy recovery of some ailments.
Chinese Medicine
follows the theory of the 5 elements Earth, Wood, Metal, Fire,
Water, each element relates to an organ in the body and has specific
requirements in regard to treatment. Thus we must look at the
life style habits of the patient ranging from work, sleeping and
diet, only when this type of consultation has taken place can
a proper diagnosis be made
Herbal
Therapy is one of the most important component's in TCM,
with all of the remedies made with only natural ingredients from
around the world, these ingredients are made into tea's, soups
and capsules. As many people know, for centuries in economically
challenged countries, people have had to use herbs and plants
found most commonly to make Medicine's, found a way to combine
and use for the treatment of common ailments. This is why we insist
that before any treatment is to commence, we run through a checklist
of questions to determine the best course of action for you.
Liniments are used in many areas of Chinese Medicine therefore we carry a stock of the most common liniments for treating injuries.

Acupressure or Tui Na is the art of applying pressure to key points and areas
around the body to stimulate and encourage the bodies natural
healing process, with no side effects this form of treatment can
also be practiced on yourself. With a little guidance you can
be taught how to treat yourself, using many of the same points
used in Acupuncture it has particular advantages for people with
a phobia of needles. It has also been found that when combined

Acupuncture is the skill of inserting fine needles into points of the body
to stimulate the bodies energy channels called Meridians, it is
believed that the bodies Meridians carry the vital Ch'i energy
needed to allow the body to function correctly, and when that
energy is blocked it shows up as a more common ailment. This is
the point that we insert a needle into the correct point to release
or stimulate the energy needed to correct the bodies balance.
It is believed that this triggers the release of endorphins the
neuro-chemicals that relieve pain.
Massage is the skill of manipulating the bodies muscle's to relax, loosen
and to take away some of the pain caused through sports injuries.
The most common ailment that require treatment from massage are
from bad posture, poor sleeping habits and lack of correct preparation
prior to taking part in amateur sports. Massage is the ideal method
of treating mild injuries as they have happened and should be
used before and after sports to reduce the threat of damage the
body.
