Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the oldest, professional, continually practiced, literate medicine in the world. Dating back thousands of years it is presently used as a primary healthcare system to 1/4 of the worlds population. It is a method of balancing and building the body’s life force or energy known as Qi. This ancient Chinese healing art is essentially a painless, minimally invasive technique that employs the insertion of fine, sterilized, disposable needles into specific points on certain body pathways through which Qi flows. The insertion, as well as the gentle manipulation of the needle, promotes the movement of Qi, dispersing blockages, thereby restoring balance and boosting the immune system. TCM views disease as the result of an imbalance or blockage in the body’s energy flow. Such imbalances manifest as physical, emotional and psychosomatic stress-related disorders. Each patient at Eastern Sun Holistic Health is treated as an individual.After a thorough intake, a specific TCM pattern diagnosis is assigned to fit each patient’s signs and symptoms and a tailored treatment unique to that pattern is then performed. Much of TCM theory behind its healing methods is based on treating both the “branch” and the “root.” The “branch” is symptoms, such as pain the patient is experiencing, while the “root” is the underlying cause of the symptoms. Strengthening the “root” overtime alleviates and eventually eliminates the “branch,”therefore preventing the progression of disease and promoting general health.
