About Traditional Chinese Medicine

3,000 Year-Old Tradition
Traditional Chinese medicine is a 3,000 year-old healing tradition, and takes a holistic view of the human body rooted in the Taoist philosophy of the natural world. Health is not just the absence of disease, but is the presence of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Health is maintained and illness corrected through a sophisticated set of modalities designed to harmonize the body with its surroundings and balance physiological processes. These modalities include acupuncture, herbal medicine, meditation, exercise, diet, and massage. Your treatment plan may include a combination of these modalities.

Chinese Herbal Tradition
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine is a sophisticated system including a multitude of herbs. TCM formulas pay careful attention to relieving the symptoms of illness, while restoring physiological harmony and strength. Although records date the use of herbal medicine to earlier than 2000 B.C., the first major compendium of Chinese herbal medicine was published in 659 A.D. In the hands of a trained practitioner, traditional Chinese herbs are a safe and powerful means to address a wide range of health issues.
