What is Chinese Medicine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years and has changed little over the centuries. Its basic idea is that a vital force, called Qi, permeates the body. Any imbalance in Qi can cause dysfunctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duality that exists everywhere in nature and man, is symbolically explained by the ancient Chinese with the image of a mountain. The side that is in shade was called yin, while the side that receives the sun’s rays, is yang. These two forces and actions are considered opposite in the West, while Chinese Medicine focuses on the relationship they have with each other, as interrelated, interdependent, and complementary since one is necessary for the existence of the other and the general balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ancient Chinese believed that humans are a microcosm of the wider environment of the universe, are intertwined with nature, and are subject to its powers. The balance between health and disease is a basic concept. Treatment using  Traditional Chinese Medicine seeks to restore this balance through specially adapted therapy for the individual. It is believed that to regain balance, the balance between the internal organs of the body and the external elements of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal must be achieved<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Classical Chinese Medicine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All forms of Acupuncture originate from the book Huang Di Nei Jing which was formed at some point prior to 220 BC. This text was destroyed in 960 AD by the Song Dynasty. In its original form it described all 68 channels of Acupuncture which were practised to treat psycho-emotional conditions and chronic degenerative diseases as well as to preserve health. After its alteration the 68 channels were reduced to 12, the meridians called Primary channels which most practitioners use these days worldwide under the modality called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which was formed in the 1950\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Jeffrey Yuen is the 88th generation holder of the Yu Qing Huang Lao Pai and has received all the teachings that predated the destruction of the original text of Huang Di Nei Jing, through oral tradition. Ann Cecil-Sterman is one of the original students of Jeffrey Yuen. She followed him closely for 22 years and compiled the entirety of his teachings on the 68 acupuncture channel system. In 2023 she began offering her intense six month mentorship program where this knowledge is given in a concentrated form. I had the honour to be one of the 120 students to have graduated from it worldwide and the only one in Greece<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acupuncture treats the person holistically and to do so makes a diagnosis through the prism of Chinese medicine. Thus, when receiving an acupuncture treatment you will not be treated for your given Western medical diagnosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
