Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
TCM and Acupuncture are some of the oldest
known healing modalities still actively and
successfully used today and supported by the
WHO (World Health Organization).
Traditional Chinese Medicine (or TCM, as it is
called in short) always considers the human
being as a whole and interprets all signs and
symptoms in the context of each individual
person and his or her environment.
To achieve harmony and balance is the first
step towards a state of well being.
Apart from seeking to cure from the very root of
a problem any treatment aims to stabilize all
our body systems and to prevent any future
imbalances!
An ancient Chinese Proverb states:
Diagnosis according to Traditional Chinese
Medicine, the so-called Syndrome
Differentiation, is a very involved process and
requires lengthy, in-depth training of the
practitioner. Tongue-diagnosis is one of the
tools your TCM practitioner relies on. It is
based on the recognition that any changes in
the body metabolism very quickly show
themselves in body color, coating, shape and
movement of the tongue. Similarly, Chinese
pulse diagnosis will be used, a very involved
process that distinguishes the internal
workings of the body by interpreting twenty-
seven different pulse qualities.
Please Note: Another classical modality
(Moxibustion - the warming of needles and
body parts via the burning of a dried herb) is
NOT offered at the Natural Medicine Centre
due to smoke sensitivities.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
As old as our oldest written records, the use of plant, mineral and animal parts for the
purpose of healing has been tested for over 5000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Today we use mostly plant and mineral substances. These are turned into teas,
concoctions, lotions, and rubs. Many common formulas are also available in pill or powder
form. Whenever dealing with processed forms it is imperative to look for known quality of
processing.
We do offer Chinese Herbal treatment as one of the most effective methods for many an
internal condition. More frequently however, you will see us prescribe forms of our Western
herbal medicine tradition. Such are classical Homeopathy, Homotoxicology, etc., which
may result in fewer side-effects, need no or little preparation or processing, and are easier
to take for our patients.
