Traditional Chinese medicine is a complete medical system, which has been practiced in China and other Eastern countries for thousands of years.

According to traditional Chinese medical philosophy, our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy - known as Qi - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of channels beneath the skin.

The flow of Qi can be disturbed by a number of factors. These include emotional states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, heredity factors, infections, poisons and trauma.

By utilizing acupuncture, medicinal herbs, tuina and additional therapies, the physician can stimulate the body's own healing response and help restore its natural balance.
