WHAT IS TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE?
raditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practiced in China for over 5,000 years. It is an integral part of Chinese life, dramatically different from the principles of Western medicine. The emphasis of TCM is on balance and a "whole person" perspective for total unity of mind and body. Wherever you are in your life, it’s possible to become stronger, healthier, more relaxed and more physically and mentally "fit" through TCM. Massage, Acupuncture, Acupressure, exercise and healing herbs are all important aspects of TCM.
The results have been superior, with proven success in treating, or improving, a range of problems, including:
- Weight Loss
- Anti-Aging
- Auto-Immune Disorders
- Loss of Libido/Sexual dysfunction
- Hypertension
- Digestive Disorders
- Infectious Disease
- Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Diseases
Our tour will introduce you to ancient Chinese wisdom and healing arts, with their focus on achieving balance in all things, for a true oneness of mind and body. All diagnosis and treatments are designed to restore, and maintain, integration and balance.

Energizing Diet – Fresh vegetables, essential plants, curative herbs and select meats may be used to create a special diet for a specific condition. Chinese Herbal Cuisine strengthens organs and systems, or may be designed to improve balance and well-being, (Chi). Other diets are designed to replenish your "Yin" essence with water and delicacies from the sea; or your "Yang" essence with food from the land like plants, chicken and beef. The goal is always balance. Exercise & Movement – In China, exercise and movement are an integral part of daily life. Everyone, from small children to the eldest senior citizens, engage in daily exercise. Most often, exercise is a group event, and a chance to be sociable. Tai Chi, the disciplined movement based on the philosophy of Taoism, is practiced routinely in public parks and squares. Herbal Medicines – Some of the herbal medications can be prepared for Acupuncture – works on the body’s key meridian points or Reflective Areas by inserting tiny needles into the "acupuncture points" along the meridians. By unblocking and stimulating the flow of Qi or vital energy throughout the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies, Acupuncture restores balance, thereby improving health and well being. Chinese Massage – closely related to acupuncture and acupressure, Chinese massage works on the meridian points using deep "grasp and push" or "press and rub" techniques to stimulate the Reflective Areas. It is considered effective for a wide range of health problems, and is highly regarded as comprehensive therapy and one of the fundamental arts of Traditional Chinese Medicine. |
Travel Tip:
When possible, it’s easier to transport Herbal Medicines in the prepared form—capsules, elixirs, tea bag, etc. In the unprocessed state, some Ingredients can be bulky before processing. Certain compresses and mixtures are better prepared just prior to use. We suggest leaving room in your luggage for medications. If you can, bring an empty suitcase or carry-on specifically for medications, souvenirs and other purchases. Laundry and dry cleaning services are available in China and quite reasonable—far less than the cost of shipping purchases home or paying for extra luggage on the return flight home. New airline regulations permit only one carryon plus a purse, briefcase, diaper bag or catalogue case.
