Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the identification of patterns of energetic disharmony which affect the normal functioning of the body’s key organs. There are three main areas of the medicine, Acupuncture, Tunia and Herbal Medicine. When using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture and acupressure aim at rebalancing the body’s energy flow to invigorate health.
In general, acupuncture is more effective in the treatment of conditions involving painful symptoms such as musculo–skeletal pain, arthritis or migraine. Chinese herbal medicine is more widely used for internal conditions, such as chest infections, and cystitis and Tunia tends to be more effective in relieving pain, especially in muscular problems.
Tunia literally translates as “push and grasp” and is a Chinese therapeutic massage closely related to acupuncture in its use of the meridian system. It is considered to be effective in treating a similar range of health problems and is regarded alongside herbal remedies and diet, as one of the fundamental arts of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
