Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the keystones of Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM), a 5,000 year old approach to medicine which is as valid today as
it was five millennium ago. The oldest medical text book in the world, 4,700
years old, describes acupuncture and the theory behind it.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been developing over
5,000 years. The underlying principles of TCM relate to balancing any
disturbances in the individual's flow of energy throughout the body. This energy
flow, or Qi (pronounced "chee"), as it is called in Chinese, controls the mental
and physical health of the individual.
