Philosophy of Practice |
Traditional
Chinese Medicine is a holistic, patient centered healing practice. By
looking at the mind and body as one whole system it can identify and
treat many problems for which western medicine is not completely effective.
|
In my practice of traditional Chinese medicine, diseases and symptoms are thought of as imbalances in the normal state of the body. Treatment is applied with acupuncture and Chinese herbs with the goal of bringing the patient back to their normal harmonious state of balance.
I believe that an enormously important part of this process is patient education concerning the causes of their illness from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective and what patients can do in their daily lives to help their treatment proceed as effectively as possible.
