New York City Chinese Medicine is all about balance. It is a holistic approach treating the mind, body and spirit as interrelated parts of a body. If any part of a complete organism gets out of balance, in both the physical and meta-physical sense, illness will occur.
Chi refers to the vital force of the body that flows through the body along the meridian lines, as well as through other channels. If the flow of Chui is interrupted, it will result to imbalance.
As a result, a medication is needed to restore the normal circulation of the qi. The different kinds of treatment one can expect are herbal medicine, acupuncture New York, cupping, gua sha, and physical and breathing exercises.
Herbal medicine includes the use of herbs, roots, mushrooms and other natural products for their medicinal value. The other treatment is using acupuncture New York which is the practice of inserting very thin needles into strategic points along the body that usually follows the meridian lines. This method is commonly used for chronic pain, psychological disorders, or other nervous-system disorders. Then, there is cupping which is an unusual form of massage/detoxification that requires special glass cups which have the air inside heated by a flame or smoke. While still warm inside, they are placed on the back where they then suck up the skin into the cup. Another unusual treatment is the gua sha that involves rubbing the skin with smooth bits of jade, stone, bone or tusk. It’s not a gentle treatment, often resulting in painful bruising or red marks on the skin. Moreover, Chinese medicine also encourages its patients to engage in healthy physical and breathing exercises. For the flow and balance of qi, however, only the right exercises will do like taichi, qigong, yoga, meditation and martial arts.
