What is Asian Medicine?
East Asian Medicine is a natural, holistic approach that supports the body’s ability to heal itself. Through acupuncture, tailored nutrition, and/or Chinese herbal medicine, it promotes recovery and balance across multiple levels of health.
There is often a spontaneous recovery. Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, body-type specific nutrition, cupping, and electro-stimulation are all powerful tools to support your overall health. Let’s briefly explore each of these methods:
Acupuncture
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicines do not rely on isolated active ingredients that replace the body’s function. Instead, the molecules support the body’s natural ability to address its own issues. True, long-term healing comes from enhancing the body’s innate efficiency and self-regulation.
Chinese herbs serve as an empowering therapy, creating the ideal molecular environment for genes and cells to function optimally. Then, the homeostasis is restored, resulting in reversal of diseases.
Herbal medicine is mainly used for internal diseases. And it is also used as an effective anti-aging medicine for the mind and body to thrive.
Body-Type Diet
Food is not just a source of nutrition—it is also a gentle form of medicine. By diagnosing your body type, we can identify the specific foods that work best for you. The common allergic/intolerant foods such as nuts, shellfish, dairy, gluten, and even uncommonly known ingredients are identified related to your body type.
Our approach encourages you to consume more of the foods that benefit your body and reduce those that may be harmful. Alongside maintaining a balanced and clean diet, tailoring your food choices to your body type can significantly enhance your overall health and well-being.
Providing the right cellular environment with the food that matches your physiology helps your mind and body function optimally.
Cupping
Cupping is a therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. It works like a deep tissue massage in relieving muscular knots and in stimulating key areas for recovery. The goal is to facilitate healing with blood flow and physiological flow to achieve balance.
Although cupping is not a major part of Asian medicine, it can be useful for some type of conditions.
Electrostim
Electrostimulation sends mild electrical pulses through the skin to help stimulate injured muscles or even manipulate the nerves to reduce pain. This painless procedure mimics the action signals coming from your nervous system to tell your body to heal faster.
Although electrostimulation is not a major part of Asian medicine for pain and inflammation, it can be useful for some type of conditions.
Many solutions to today’s health challenges were discovered long ago. Over two thousand years of clinical practice and scholarly research have been refined and carried into the modern era.
