A TCM lifestyle includes exercise, diet and meditation and may utilize herbal medicine, acupunture, tui-na (massage & chiropractics) and dietary therapy.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing. Originating in China over 3,000 years ago, traditional acupuncture is the oldest continually practiced medical system in the world. The fundamental principles of acupuncture are to treat the patient as an integrated whole and to identify and remedy the root cause of disease. It can be used to relieve pain or to improve the function of various organ systems in an animal's body.
In Western terms, acupuncture can assist the body to heal itself by affecting certain physiological changes. Acupuncture can stimulate nerves, increase blood circulation, relieve muscle spasms and cause the release of hormones such as endorphins (one of the body's pain control chemicals) and cortisol (a natural steroid). By stimulating specific points on the body with the use of fine needles, blocked energy or Qi is released and health is restored. More information about acupuncture
