This may sound weird and strange, and in many ways it is! It’s a very different way of looking at health than what most of us are used to. Some of these patterns include: Qi deficiency, Qi stagnation, Blood deficiency, Blood stagnation, Yang deficiency, Yin deficiency, Damp, Damp-heat, Damp-cold, Heat (excess, deficient or upward rising), Wind-cold, Wind-heat etc. From a Chinese medical point of view, we look at your unique collection of symptoms and put them together to reveal what we call ‘patterns of disharmony’.

You may suffer from any number of symptoms such as pain, gut issues, migraines, skin problems, fatigue, inability to conceive, painful periods or hot flushes. Acupuncture treats the stagnation or deficiency, assisting your body to improve its ability to heal. Sometimes stress causes Qi to stagnate (become blocked) in the body, sometimes it causes Qi deficiency, either of which can manifest as some of those symptoms mentioned above. If someone is highly stressed and suffering from headaches or insomnia or recurrent infections or irregular periods for example, an acupuncturist will look at the whole picture to see how it’s manifesting in terms of Chinese medicine and will treat you according to those principles. Acupuncture helps guide your body back to better functioning, in combination with a healthy lifestyle and diet. The body has a natural ability to heal itself, which can get off track. This means that acupuncture can support your body to change the way it operates when it has become out of balance with dis-ease. Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile needles which are inserted at points along these meridians, aiming to regulate the flow of Qi and help guide your body back to a more balanced state. When this flow is disrupted your body becomes unbalanced and unwell. In TCM energy (Qi) is believed to flow through the body along particular pathways. TCM uses a unique system of viewing the body to assess and understand the ways in which your body can be out of balance as a result of these influences, causing symptoms such as illness or pain. The health of each person will be influenced by dietary, lifestyle, climate, pollution, stress and emotional factors, particularly if any of these are extreme or sustained over a long period of time. The philosophy behind TCM is that the body is like a microsystem within the macrosystem of its environment.
The other aspects of TCM are Chinese herbal medicine, Qigong, tuina (Chinese massage therapy) and dietary therapy.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a natural system of healthcare that has been widely used around the world by millions of people for several thousand years.
