About Traditional Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese medicine has over years developed its own view of our natural
state of health. The models of health its uses reflect its roots in Chinese culture
of 2000 years ago. It talks of natural phenomena, physical and emotional signs and
symptoms and even looks to comparisons in nature. Consequently, TCM does not recognise
the modern terms of illness; remember modern, western medicine is relatively young.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is used alongside modern medicine in China which still retains traditional techniques that it continues to find effective. Acupuncture is the most well known tool available in TCM. The traditional models of diagnosis indicate what acupuncture points are prescribed.

In this way TCM forms an opinion of the root cause of your illness that can be affected by acupuncture. By looking at the body's working as a whole, traditional acupuncture takes an holistic approach to your health.
You are an individual, and treated as individual.
