Tcim Techniques

Traditional Chinese and Integrative Medicine (TCIM) modalities are ancient approaches to preventative healthcare, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of health conditions and diseases. It includes a variety of techniques, such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and moxibustion. Acupuncture is a technique which involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific areas of the body. This helps to stimulate and harmonize the circulation of qi, which is the body’s vital life-force energy. The purpose of this technique is to restore balance to the body and revitalize the Qi. Acupuncture treatments can be used as both a preventive and a curative approach. Herbal medicine incorporates dietary and lifestyle changes, and the use of medicinal plants and herbs to treat the whole person and not just their individual symptomology. Herbal formulas are designed to address the root cause of the problem and to nourish and strengthen the body. It also includes nutrition evaluation, dietary advice and food therapy. Moxibustion is the burning of the herb mugwort over specific acupuncture points. This ancient technique stimulates the movement and regulation of qi and supports ongoing maintenance of health conditions. It is commonly used to stimulate the flow of qi in areas that are weak, deficient or painful. The main concept behind TCIM modalities is to restore harmony in the body and promote preventative health by balancing the qi. These modalities are also used to treat a wide variety of health conditions including pain relief, anxiety, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances. Traditional Chinese and Integrative Medicine modalities are a safe, non-invasive, and natural approach to healthcare and prevention.
