Acupuncture (針灸)

Acupuncture （針灸） is one of the oldest forms of healing art known to mankind and it was originated in China nearly five thousand years ago. Acupuncture is a practice of insertion of needles into specific exterior body locations to relieve pain, to induce biological changes, and for therapeutic purposes.

Acupuncture points are located and joined together in “channels” or “meridians”, along which Qi (氣vital energy) flows. The points used in treatment are carefully chosen by acupuncturist to disperse any blockages or to tonify any deficiency and to bring the patient's Qi into balance.

Moxibustion (艾灸)

Moxibustion (艾灸) is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy using moxa made from dried mugwort. Practitioners use moxa to warm regions and acupuncture points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and Qi.

Cupping (拔罐)

Cupping （拔罐） is an ancient Chinese form of therapy in which a local suction is created on the skin in order to mobilize blood flow and promote healing. The negative pressure is created by using heat (fire) or mechanical devices (hand or electrical pumps)

Electroacupuncture (電針)

Electroacupuncture (電針） is a form of acupuncture in which acupuncture needles are attached to a device that generates continuous electric pulses.

Microsystems acupuncture（微针系统疗法）

Auriculotherapy - Ear acupuncture is a form of acupuncture based on the reflexological representation of the entire body in the outer ear. Quite often Auricular-plaster therapy is practiced without needles.
Scalp acupuncture integrates traditional Chinese needling methods with Western medical knowledge of the cerebral cortex.It is especially effective for the treatment of neurological disorders.
Hand and Abdominal acupuncture are likewise based on reflexological considerations regarding the areas.

Chinese Herbal Medicine (中藥)

In China, herbal remedies are used as much as acupuncture to treat energy imbalances and illness. When considering the appropriate herbal remedy for a patient, practitioners of TCM apply medical theory - the Five Elements and Eight Guiding Principles - along with tongue and pulse diagnosis.

The herbs are usually decocted into a tea. Some come in ready-prepared pill or powder, called “patent” herbal remedies. The herbal medicine is usually taken in the form of a “recipe” called a "prescription". To make up a prescription, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine carefully blends together a number of herbs which have specific functions. So far, Most Chinese medicinal herbs are regarded as dietary supplements in Canada and the USA.

Chinese Dietetics (中醫食疗)

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, diet plays an important role in maintaining good health by contributing to an optimum balance of vital life energy (Qi). In fact, the Chinese believe that diet is one of the three origins (diet, heredity, and environment) or sources of qi. Therefore, according to TCM, the foods we eat directly influence the excesses and deficiencies in our bodies.

Unlike the western diet, which emphasizes a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, the Chinese approach to diet is grounded in the five elements and eight guiding principles theory. Foods are seen as having yin and yang, warming and cooling, drying and moistening properties. Certain foods are better for some people than others, depending on their type and condition.
In general, the Chinese approach to diet is to optimize digestion and increase qi, moisture, and blood, and aid the organ function.
