General Practice
Traditional chinese medicine (TCM) is a complete system of medicine with its own forms of diagnosis, treatment methods and prognosis. With more than 3000 years of history, it is currently the longest existing medical system being continuously practiced in the world.
Unlike western medicine that tends to focus only on symptoms when combating diseases, TCM does not separate the disease from the individual. This is because TCM views an individual as an energetic system in dynamic balance where the body, mind and spirit are one entity. Thus, a healthy person should have a smooth and harmonious flow of Qi (energy) throughout his/her body, just like the importance of having an efficient irrigation system in a paddy field. The flow of Qi nourishes the tissues in our body, like water flowing through the paddy field. Therefore a blockage in the flow of Qi, and too much or too little Qi will result in pain and illnesses, same as a failed irrigation system. The beauty of TCM is that by skillfully manipulating the flow of Qi in our body, illnesses are overcome through a holistic and natural approach. Many of us may not know but Qi imbalances can be corrected even before the occurrence of symptoms thus preventing illnesses altogether.
