TCM / Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a holistic modality based on thousands of years of observation of seasonal patterns and cycles in the environment and their mirror expression in the human body.
Yin/yang and 5 element theory are concepts which guide diagnosis and treatment utilizing hallmark techniques such as pulse and tongue diagnosis coupled with comprehensive patient history to formulate treatment regimes.
TCM herbal treatment integrates the 5 flavours and thermic natures to realign the bodies function to a state of harmony and optimal function and likewise this is the focus of diet therapy.
Acupuncture, cupping, moxa, scraping( gua shi) and massage (Tuina) also promote the free flow of qi (life force) thereby regulating organ function, dissipating pain and optimizing balance in body mind and spirit.
