Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) sees the body as an integrated whole. All parts of the body and organ systems are linked in obvious or subtle ways. Disease may originate locally or be caused by an imbalance in the whole system. In TCM a patient’s complaint is considered only as one of the symptoms of the underling imbalance. When this imbalance is resolved the patient should expect significant improvement or complete disappearance of the original complaint. The principal aim of TCM is to restore equilibrium between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual; between yin and yang. One does not have to feel ill in order to benefit from TCM. In our clinic the Practitioner, by using TCM principles, works to detect and to correct the existing imbalance in the body long before it becomes a serious problem. |
