Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is currently gaining popularity in the United States and at the same time many people are not aware of what TCM truly is. Many people think of Acupuncture as being TCM. This is true, but Acupuncture is just a part of what Traditional Chinese Medicine encompasses. TCM is an art of harmony. It seeks to eliminate disease by rebalancing and aligning the body through treatment methods such as

Acupuncture: Tiny, disposable, sterile needles placed in specific acupuncture points.

Herbs:Chinese herbal medicine draws from a pharmacopia of thousand of herbs for specific conditions.

Pressure Points

Cupping:Using glass or bamboo cups to create a vacuum in order to increase warmth and circulation.

GuaSha: A gentle scraping of the skin surface using a Gwa Sha tool to increase circulation of Chi and blood. It release muscle tension, tightness and constriction.

Moxabustion: Moxabustion is an herb called mugwort. It may be burned on the handle of the needle, above the skin, on salt or a slice of ginger. This is used to “warm” acupuncture points or areas in order to quicken the healing process.

Fire treatment
Tui-Na (Acupressure), Scaring treatment, Bleeding, Bone setting, … and healing exercises such as Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Meditation and Yoga,(not original from China) Martial Art…
TCM's philosophies include Taoism, I-Ching, and partial Buddhism.

Even though TCM is becoming more popular many people use it for pain relief or as a last choice for treatment when other modalities have not given adequate results. I would like to stress that Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are holistic prevention and healing systems that can treat complex diseases, chronic internal disorders, and mind body imbalances.
My goal in creating this website is to share information and increase understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Not only it's theories, modalities, and application but also how TCM can help prevent and heal. With this information please consider TCM as a choice for your health care needs.
