TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
What Traditional Chinese
Medicine is?
• Medical Practices and therapies that originated in Ancient
China and were within its confines for more than 2000 years.
• Example: Acupuncture, Cupping, Herbal remedies etc.
• Unlike Western Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
perceives illnesses as a product of imbalance in the energy
flow (Qi).
TCM’s focus and base!
TCM aims at:
• Balancing body functions by regulating Qi
TCM is grounded in:
• Yang-Yin theory
• Five elements
• Qi
A better understanding of
TCM’s underlying concepts
Yang-Yin:
• Forces that are conflicting and contributing!
• Very existence of nature
• World per se, according to the Chinese belief.
Examples: man-woman, day-night etc.
Five Elements:
• Human body is a miniscule manifestation of the universe
• Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood being its constituents
Qi:
• Energy or Life force
• Flowing through energy meridians
Major components of TCM
• Acupuncture
• Moxibustion
• Cupping
Acupuncture
• Insertion of needles into certain points on
the human body to stimulate them and correct
the imbalance in the flow of energy (Qi)
Variants of Acupuncture
Heated Acupuncture:
•The top end of the inserted needles are heated to let the heat pass
through to the energy meridian for faster recovery.
Electro-acupuncture
Electro-Acupuncture:
•A small amount of electrical waves are passed through the inserted
needles for better stimulation and faster recovery.
Moxibustion
• Burning of mugwort-herb on the acu points
for stimulation and maintaining the flow of Qi.
Moxibustion can be direct and
indirect!
• In Direct Moxibustion, the mugwort is
placed on the acupoints and then burned.
• In Indirect Moxibustion, the burnt
mugwort stick is placed against the
acupoints without any contact until the skin
turns red.
Cupping
• Creating suction on the skin using cups
to ease the flow of blood.
Cupping forms
Dry Cupping:
• Cup is warmed by burning something inside it in order
to create a vacuum.
Wet Cupping:
• Cup is placed on the skin after puncturing it
• Suction is created using a pump which allows a few
drops of blood to flow out.
• This helps to remove toxins from the blood.
TCM-curable diseases and
medical conditions
• Tennis Elbow
• Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
• Migraine
• Tension-Type Headache
• Lumbar Disc
• Cervical Disc
• Obesity
• Sports Injury
• Degenerative Arthritis
• Diabetes
• Osteoarthritis
• Heart disease
Why go for TCM?
• 100% Natural
• Quick relief is certain
• Can undergo treatment with clothes on
• Safe (with expert practitioners)
• Augments immunity
• Assurance of a sound tradition of over 2000 years
