The key in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is that it’s not only addressed to ill or sick people. Healthy people can benefit from it since it’s a natural way of rebalancing the body’s life energy.

 

The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine, one of the highest authorities in TCM offers mostly practical ways to promote a long, happy, and healthy life rather than a way to cure illness (or disease).Since it’s much easier to prevent serious illness before it happens than it’s to treat it once it already manifests in the body, Traditional Chinese Doctors were rewarded for preventing disease, and punished for allowing their patients to get sick. (Western Medicine is only rewarded if there are sick patients to cure).

 

As you all may know, illness is an imbalance in your body’s normal function at a certain level.When this imbalance occurs, the body often gives signs and symptoms well before serious disease appears; just like while driving your car, and the” check engine” light comes on, you can rather take it to the shop and check what’s wrong or continue driving it until your engine collapses and stops functioning.

 

The power of TCM is that it can diagnose and cure your disease at its primary stage (at the “check engine” stage) rather than to wait for the serious disease to be installed.

 

A visit to your acupuncturist can help you master the art of listening to your body, detecting those signs and preventing the occurrence of disease, thus, preserving your health.
