Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine is a complete medical system that is capable of treating a very wide range of conditions and is based on the energy balancing concepts of Yin and Yang. It aims to understand and treat the many ways in which the fundamental balance and harmony between the two may be undermined and the ways in which a person's Qi or vitality may be depleted or blocked.

Because of its systematic approach and clinical effectiveness, it has for centuries had a very great influence on the theory and practice of medicine in the East, and more recently has grown rapidly in popularity in the West

Clinical strategies are based upon diagnosis of patterns of signs and symptoms that reflect an imbalance. Treatments include herbal therapy, acupuncture, dietary therapy, and exercises in breathing and movement (tai chi and qi gong).
