In Western medicine, one thinks
about the diagnosis and treatment of illness in terms of tangible biochemical notions.
In Chinese medicine, we think illness is the result of imbalances in the universal life
force we call chi, which we believe is in a constant state of flux.
We understand that within this state of flux there are two polar opposites called yin and yang,
symbolized by a gracefully divided circle showing how together they represent the whole being.
As Chinese doctors have done for thousands of years, I use acupuncture needles, moxibustion (heat), cupping (suction), massage, herbs, and other methods to stimulate chi in an effort to restore
the body natural balance. |
