Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine:
natural & clinically proven for over thousands of years

Chinese Medicine is a complete healthcare system validated by thousands of years of continuous clinical practice – the same acupuncture points,  medicinal herbs and lifestyle / dietary medicine that we continue to use today have been used for thousands of years.

Chinese Medicine is the original functional medicine

In addition to providing relief from symptoms, it is focused on getting to the root of the problem. As the aim of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture is to restore optimal function of the body’s various systems, it has been traditionally used for thousands of years to address a broad range of conditions – and the body of modern research “rediscovering” the knowledge held by this ancient science continues to grow.

Many of our practices to support healthy movement and vibrant wellness at every age incorporate stillness, slowness, silence and reflection. Vigorous exercise is also wonderful, but as with everything in Life, we need a balance between Yin and Yang. When we spend more time in a Yin state of being or movement, limiting intake of data, we cultivate our Three Treasures. The Three Treasures are our Essence, Qi and Spirit - precious substances that, when well-kept and nourished, support our health for a long lifetime. Qi Gong is a great way to connect to this slow flow, and another easy way is slow walking - extra points if barefoot on grass or sand. No phones, no music or podcasts, just presence with your breath and your movement: feet connecting with Earth, arms swinging, ribs moving.

Our skin absorbs what it comes into contact with - just like our digestion does. And the ancients knew this. In Chinese Medicine, the skin is ruled by the Lungs. The Lungs receive air, Qi and nourishment from the exterior, which is then used to our benefit. And the skin is no different - what we absorb via our surface can be for our benefit too. In fact, the ancients placed the Lungs and Spleen - our organ of digestion and assimilation - together, under the banner of Ta Yin. 太阴: The Greater Yin, the Ultimate Nurturer. So what are we nourishing our skin - and our selves - with? Is it to our benefit? Or is it potentially adding to our toxic load? Ingredients like parabens, phthalates, sulphates and preservatives are well-known endocrine (hormone) disruptors, and don’t do other systems any favours either. Another pesky culprit are synthetic fragrances, which can be found in many popular fragrances and scented products like soap, creams, candles, room sprays, laundry liquid, deodorants, etc. This is why I always choose essential oils for any scents in our home. Reducing the toxins we put in our bodies is a vital foundation for health. It frees the body up to do what it knows best how to do - keep us vibrant and well!

“One distinguishing feature of Chinese Medicine is holism, the concept that humans and nature form an organic whole, behave as one, and are interwoven on virtually every level. How are humans and nature woven into one? Put simply, as heaven and earth change and transform in the course of the seasons, people must change accordingly. Human beings need to keep pace with the rhythms of nature.” Liu Lihong, in the beautiful book, CLASSICAL CHINESE MEDICINE #universe #universaltruth #taiji #mamanature #naturalhealth #naturalhealing #naturalmedicine #mamaearth #gaia #holistichealth #HolisticLifestyle #HealthyLiving #EnergyHealing #MindBodySpirit #QiHealing #EnergyBalance #qi
