Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete system of medicine that originated in China and dates back to 200 B.C.It has been practiced throughout the world and has long been a part of Chinese culture and history. TCM includes Acupuncture, Chinese Herbalogy, and Tui Na (Asian Bodywork Therapy) and has been effective in promoting the health of the Chinese people and has played an important role in the medical services arena. In modern China, Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine are practiced alongside Western Medicine in most hospitals. Chinese and Western medicine complement each other and are integrated to deliver an optimal level of healthcare.   About Acupuncture Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical system where fine needles pierce the skin to a depth of usually a few millimetres to a few centimetres with the aim of treating or curing diseases and disorders of the body. It has been a standard form of medical treatment in China for at least two thousand years. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that in a normally healthy organism, there is a continuous circulation of energy or life-force. Where the energy fails to circulate as it should, vital organs may suffer from a deficiency or a disturbing excess of this life-force. Illness then results and this, in turn, can cause disorder in the circulation of this energy. Acupuncture re-directs and normalises the flow of energy. This is possible because the limbs, trunks and head are lined with invisible channels known as meridians which are related to the various organs of the body. On these meridians are located certain peculiarly sensitive points. A needle inserted at one of these points will exert an influence on the organ related to the meridian on which the point lies. By pricking at a number of selected points, the normal circulation of energy is re-established and the patient is brought back to health. Acupuncture can be used to cure or treat a very wide range of diseases and disorders. It can also be employed to tonify the body, improve sleep, relaxation and to give an enhanced feeling of well-being.
