Treatment

Chinese diagnosis

When treating a disease, doctors of TCM usually find the patient's condition through these four diagnostic methods: observation, auscultation and olfaction, interrogation, pulse, and palpation. Combining the collected facts and according to their internal relations, doctors will utilize the dialectics to analyze the source and virtue of the disease. Then make sure what prex-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-scription should be given.

Akupunktur

Acupuncture is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) involving thin needles inserted into the body at acupuncture points and it is most commonly used to treat pain.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force —Tui-na known as qi — believed to flow through meridians in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture could help your energy flow and will re-balance.

In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers and increases blood flow.

tui na

Massage, in Chinese called 'an mo' or 'tui na', it is another great contribution of the Chinese people made to the world medical field. It is a kind of outer physiotherapy and has been approved to be one of great practical use.

As doctors hold that, a network - 'jing luo' in human body serves as a passage for vital energy and blood, organs and joints all to be the entity of body, they regulate it through outside force of hands directly acting on the injured part, and turn the scale of pathological changes or improve the organ function to maintain health.

usage of herbs

Chinese have discovered thousands of plants and herbs in the treatment of diseases, so the system of herbal medicine is indeed extensive.

Doctors analyze the nature or properties of herbs, such as "cold or hot" or "yin and yang", utilizing all kinds of raw materials and blending them in the right way to alleviate discomfort.

Thus, it differs entirely from Western medicine.
