Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the oldest systems of health care, developed and refined over the course of 4,000 years. Featuring therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha and moxibustion, TCM has stood the test of time and still serves as comprehensive, primary medical care in the Far East where it is seamlessly integrated with modern medical therapies. Over the past 40 years, TCM has become increasingly popular in the West for the treatment of everything from pain to digestive disorders, migraines and menstrual issues to general stress management.

While modern medicine is just beginning to recognize the role balanced emotions and a healthy mental outlook play in human health and wellbeing, these factors have always been at the root of TCM's focus on the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. Chinese medicine's uniquely holistic approach to medical treatment seeks to restore a harmonious state of balance in the body to promote long-term physical, mental, and emotional health and vitality.   

If you already have health issues, Chinese medicine offers virtually side-effect free treatment options that can complement conventional medical therapies. But you do not need to suffer from a disease or injury to benefit from treatment. In fact, the ideal time to work on your health is when you are healthy and not, as the Chinese say, waiting to "start digging the well after you become thirsty." Regular wellness treatments can boost energy levels, promote sleep, and help manage stress levels. Most people try TCM for a specific health problem.  Many find that its benefits include improving their health far beyond the symptoms that originally led them to seek treatment.
