Can Chinese Medicine help you? |
Almost everyone in the UK has heard of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is now becoming well understand and is taking its rightful place as a major form of healthcare.
Chinese medicine is complementary in the very purest sense of the word. Its strengths lie in those areas where orthodox modern medicine is weakest. Most patients in the West consult a TCM doctor when all else has failed, and the disease from which they are suffering are usually chronic and require lengthy treatment. If it has sometimes been presented as a ‘miracle cure’, it is simply because it often succeeds where Western medicine has not yet found the answer.
One of the major assumptions inherent in traditional Chinese medicine is that disease is due to an internal imbalance of Yin and Yang; therefore disease can be treated by correcting the Yin Yang imbalance, thereby returning the body to a healthy state. In Europe today, thousands of patients have experienced TCM and have benefited from it. They have found a cure for, or marked improvement in, diseases that they had previously been told were incurable.
Chinese medicine does not cure multiple sclerosis, for example, but it does seem able to control the side effects of that disease, the relentless pain and the depression. Given immediately or soon after a stroke, acupuncture can hasten and enhance recovery, while arthritis, myco-enphalitis, menstrual disorder, skin problems, back pain and migraine, all seem to respond more favourably to the traditional Chinese approach.
