Traditional chinese medicine consists of the use of herbs, accupunture, tui na (chinese system of massage) and qi gong. It is a preventative medicine but it is also very effective when treating illnesses that have been contracted.
Melanie is a graduate from the International College of Traditional chinese Medicine in Vancouver. She will set up her own clinic one of these days, once Matt and Bekah are in school and she has more time on her hands. That particular commodity is in short supply at the moment for her.
As of September 7 2001, she is a registered acupuncturist after passing the regulating exam.
