Chinese Medicine Tradition…

For more than 23 centuries acupuncture needles and adjunct therapies have mended what is now 1/4 of the worlds population. Yet it is only in the last few decades that most Americans have even heard of them. According to the 2002 National Health Interview Survey–the largest and most comprehensive survey of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use by American adults to date–an estimated 2.1 million U.S. adults had used acupuncture in the previous year.In this country, the success of acupuncture arouses the intellect as it does not fit the paradigm of medicine that most of us hold

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) takes root in our terrain, it evolves to adapt to our environment. Its theory – the ideas about nature, the human body and the self – upon which it is based and its therapies including acupuncture, herbs, diet, moxibustion, et.al. are finding their place in the individuals search for on-going health.

The ancient Chinese perceived human beings as a microcosm of the universe. The microcosm of the body is linked to the universe and is affected by the daily and seasonal cycles of nature. (Think about the seasonal affective disorder which manifests itself in winter or when the light is not sufficient). The individual and the world are changing all the time. But Chinese believe that these changes are occurring in certain order and in cycles.
