| Chinese Medicine is a coherent
and independent system of thought and practice that has been
developed over two millennia. It has not only been making a great
contribution to the flourishing and prosperity of the Chinese
nation, but also represents an important chapter to the annals
of oriental civilization. Its unique theories and miraculous
therapeutic effects have fascinated more and more people in the
world. In fact, a quarter of the world's population has relied
upon it.
There are two basic components in Chinese Medicine
- Acupuncture (Usually performed with needles) and Chinese Herbal
Therapy. The aim of acupuncture is to regulate the meridians
or channels of the body and unblock the stagnation of Qi (energy).
Chinese Medicine considers that disease is caused as a direct
result of these energy blockages within the body. |
