Why it Works

The beauty of Chinese Medicine is its ability to get to the root of the problem in addtion to working on the symptoms. Its techniques are just as effective today as they were 2,000 years ago when they were conceived.

This is possible due to Chinese Medicine’s practice of developing a unique treatment plan for every individual. Even when two people are suffering from what is commonly known as the “flu”, their presentation will differ as no two people react similarly. This means that their diagnoses will be different and therefore an individualised treatment plan is tailored to meet their needs.

In Chinese Acupuncture you gain relief from pain and symptoms without the side effects of western drugs.

One might question how such an ancient form of medicine can still be so effective in today’s world. The answer is simple. Below is a small extract from one of the oldest books written about Traditional Chinese Medicine called the “Huang Di Nei Jing” (The Medical Canon of the Yellow Emperor). Scribed over 2000 years ago, this record of the dialogue between the ruler (‘Huang Di”) and his chief medical advisor (“Qi Bo”) remains a wealth of knowledge on diagnosis, treatment and the laws of the universe.

This exert is from the first page of the first chapter of the book:
“These days, people have changed their way of life. They drink wine as though it were water, indulge excessively in destructive activities, drain their jing -the body’s essence that is stored in the kidneys- and deplete their qi. They do not know the secret of conserving their energy and vitality. Seeking emotional excitement and momentary pleasures, people disregard the natural rhythm and order of the universe. They fail to regulate their lifestyle and diet, and sleep improperly. So it is not surprising that they look old at fifty and die soon after.”
From “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine” (1995)

Despite being written two millennia ago, the way of life then mirrors modern existence. While our technology and knowledge have advanced, the basics of life remain a constant, explaining why the medicine has survived over 2,000 years of scrutiny.
