Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine is the contemporary version of China's more than 3,000 year old medical system originating in Taoist philosophy. This ancient tradition is rooted in the recognition of the healing power of nature and the rhythms and cycles of life to which we are all connected. It is a comprehensive theoretical system based on the knowledge that vibrant health on all dimensions is the direct manifestation of a life lived in harmony with the principles of nature. The cycles, rhythms, and principles of nature are thought to be fully expressed within the human body in the form of the Five Elements. Therapies and treatments used include well established techniques such as Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Massage, Nutrition, Chi Gong and forms of Chinese internal practices (breath, visualization, and movement) for cultivating chi or vital energy and directing it towards the healing of self and others.
