Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine is built on the experience of the Chinese people fighting against disease for thousands of years. It is invaluable for its rich practical knowledge and a unique integrated theoretical system established since ancient times.

The basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine mainly includes the theories of yin-yang, the five elements, zang-fu, channels and collaterals, qi, blood and body fluid, etiology, methods of diagnosis and differentiation of syndromes.

Acupuncture and moxibustion, massage and cupping are distinct therapeutic methods frequently used in combination in the clinic.

Acupuncture treats disease by puncturing certain points of the human body with metal needles. Cupping is the treatment of disease by suction to the skin surface by attaching small jars in which a vacuum is created by introducing heat in the form of an ignited alcohol soaked cotton ball. Though equipment or material used in the some methods are different, the therapeutic and preventive results are achieved through promoting smooth circulation of the channels and adjusting qi and blood by stimulating the points and channels.
