What is the Traditional Chinese Medicine?
5,000 years ago the Chinese ancestors built up the Traditional Chinese Medicine based on the yin-yang theory, also called "the law of the universe." Early in the primitive society they began to observe and accumulate medical Knowledge from nature. They believe that the original state of the universe was Qi (CHEE) — and that the motion and variation of Qi produced two poles known as yin and Yang. All the things of the universe are produced through such transformations and also called "to divide one into two," such as the heaven and the earth; the day and the night; the water and the fire; as well as man and woman. Things would go wrong when the yin-yang lost balance. So the Traditional Chinese Medicine is focused on the balancing of the yin-yang for maintaining health. By doing so they used Herbs and the needles as primary materials and tools for practicing their medicine. It is the oldest and the most long-standing health care system in human history. Today, The Traditional Chinese Medicine is used to balance the Yin-Yang of the body and mind with Natural Herbs; Acupuncture; Eastern Dietetics; TuiNa and TaiJi as a natural form of healing. Especially, acupuncture provides drug-free pain relief, effectively treats a wide range of acute and chronic ailments, and treats the underlying cause of disease and illness as well as the symptoms. It provides an holistic approach to the treatment of disease and illness, linking body, mind and emotions; assists in the prevention against disease and illness as well as the maintenance of general well-being.
