classical chinese medicine
Classical Chinese Medicine is a relationship-based clinical system that offers a holistic alternative for the health care needs of our time, and represents a return to the time-honored values of living in harmony with nature and the essence of being fully human. It's unique perspective and understanding of how the body functions when it is healthy and harmonious and/or conversely in a state of disharmony, is grounded in the observation and understanding of nature, and its reflection in us.
Classical Chinese Medicine differs from Traditional Chinese Medicine, in that its treatment methods are derived directly from the Classical Medical Literature of the Han Dynasty, with a methodology of pulse-taking and diagnosis which is passed down from teacher to students as an unbroken lineage. Though existing for more than 2000 years old, this system's applicability to treat illnesses and diseases of the modern age, continues to be astute, relevant and effective.
Treatment using Classical Chinese Medicine allows for a personalised treatment of patients, whereby the practitioner tailors each treatment to suit an individual's requirements, using as appropriate: acupuncture, cupping, massage, gua sha and classical herbal formulas, as well as diet and lifestyle advice to allow patients to heal and maintain wellness.
