What is Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a system of medicine that has been practiced in China for over 2,000 years. It is based on the belief that the body is a complex and interconnected system, and that illness is caused by an imbalance of these systems. Further, it holds that health isn’t just a measure of the person but also their environment, diet, and culture. TCM practitioners use a variety of techniques to restore balance, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, and diet therapy.
TCM is a complex and comprehensive system of medicine that has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions for centuries. It is not a cure-all, but it can be an effective way to manage pain, improve overall health, and prevent illness.

Cupping is a form of alternative medicine that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The cups are then left on the skin for a few minutes. Cupping increases blood flow to the area where they’re placed. It’s used to treat such issues as pain, inflammation, muscle tension, respiratory problems, and digestive problems. It is also used to improve circulation and detoxify the body.
Chinese Herbal Medicine uses natural ingredients - usually roots, bark, seeds and fruits - to treat illness in a much gentler fashion than modern drugs. Herbal remedies have been used for centuries in clinical practice, and modern research continues to prove its efficacy for many conditions. What’s more, formula composition can be personalized to the patient to address their specifics needs.
It isn’t enough to fix the problem. Illness and pain often come as a consequence of lifestyle, but we’re unaware of those behaviors and patterns that are causing us harm. Chinese medicine offers a different perspective not just for treatment, but in how to live a more balanced and healthy life. When those unhelpful habits change, sustained health can be achieved.
