What is Classical Chinese Medicine?
Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) is a comprehensive medical system that has been utilized for thousands of years to treat all types of illness. Since its introduction to the West, it has proven its effectiveness and its ability to enhance and complement Western medical treatments.
The Eastern concept of anatomy includes a deep understanding of a system of channels through which vital energy, or “qi”, flows to all parts of the body. Each of these channels connects to the body both on the surface and internally, affecting all of our different layers and organs. These channels also connect to one another, creating a web-like network. Acupuncture points lie along these channels and are used to access the qi. If there is a disruption, blockage, or misdirection in the flow of qi, disease will occur. Therefore, CCM treatments work to return the flow of qi to a state of balance.
CCM includes the practice of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbology, and Qi Gong. The treatments may also include Cupping, Moxibustion, Guasha, and Tuina. These practices may be used alone or to complement any other medical treatment.
