The Basic nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine is holistic

TCM examines the entirety of a human being, including his/her body, mind and emotions. TCM has been very successful because it can integrate various dysfunctions, emotional states and pathogenic factors into an accurate working diagnosis. And as with all medicine, if there is an accurate diagnosis, there can also be an effective treatment.

Holistic medicine also requires that the patient’s lifestyle and compliance become an integral part of the treatment. There are no “silver bullets” to perfect health. Gaining and maintaining optimal health takes a continual vigilance by each individual. TCM has developed with this philosophy and therefore has many tools to help each individual take control over his/her health.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is TRULY A PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE

Over the centuries TCM has developed a detailed understanding of disease such that many of the aches, pains and other discomforts that we attribute to everyday life are actually indicators of a deeper underlying health problem.

TCM views disease as the result of an imbalance or blockage in the body’s natural energy flow. The basis of TCM is to build the body’s own immune system so that disease cannot penetrate.

Prevention is the best medicine!
