Why Choose Chinese Medicine?

Chinese medicine is a safe, time-tested, holistic healthcare system that has been in practice in China for over 3000 years. This natural medicine was developed over time through observation of the interactions of the mind, body and environment. The foundation of Chinese medicine is based on the concepts of qi, yin and yang. Qi can be seen as the vital energy and substances that makes up everything. Yin is the more material form of Qi (tissue, fluids, substances), while yang is the more functional form of qi (movement, metabolism, heat).

Everything is comprised of a balance of yin and yang which is constantly transforming into each other as seen in the simple and elegant yin/yang symbol. Notice the yang within the yin and the yin within the yang.

Simply stated, health is seen as a balance of the body’s energy systems (qi, yin and yang). When the body is out of balance, disease and symptoms can occur. Chinese Medicine can restore balance to the body and bring you back to optimal wellness.
