Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic Toronto

Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, is an alternative medical practice drawn from traditional medicine in China. It is considered the great-grandfather of all holistic systems, and treats the body as a working "whole," rather than a series of disparate parts. There is considerable irony in the fact that, while western medicine insists the basis of healing should be "proven" techniques,  TCM  itself represents literally the culmination of thousands of years of combined therapy and practice. In fact, in China it is not unusual for techniques and formulations to be passed down through the same family, generationally, for centuries. TCM diagnosis includes both studying the body, and taking pulses at specific points on the body. The goal is to rebalance the Vital Energy flow, or Chi. Imbalanced Chi is considered the cause of virtually all imbalance or "dis-ease."

Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner In Toronto

The TCM practitioner has a wide assortment of tools and techniques to use, including but not limited to natural herbs, acupuncture, physical therapy, diet, and other energy-based therapies. A diagnosis is confirmed by looking at the entire person — even the condition of the skin, eyes, and tongue. The treatments are 100% natural in that they use compounds that occur in nature, and work with the body as it currently presents. Side effects are minimal. Bringing multiple body "systems" into harmony (such as for example, liver/spleen functions) potentially treats the root cause of the condition, and not merely the symptoms. Positive effects of the treatment tend to persist longer, and are more satisfying. The body is brought back to health gently and slowly. Radical procedures (like surgery) are a last resort.

Benefits of Chinese Medicine

There is a saying – Health is Wealth and its holds true in this fast paced and cutthroat competitive world. People today are so busy that they have virtually disregarded their health. The physical and mental wellbeing is no longer a priority for anyone. All this has resulted in billions of people suffering from life threatening and incurable diseases like diabetes, cancer, tumor, etc. Furthermore, people do not think twice before popping a pill. And most of these un-prescribed medicines do more harm than good. Their side effects have long-lasting impressions. Therefore, it is important that people pause and think about their health, think about the forms of medication that offer lasting solutions and think about health living. Having said this, there is no better medication than traditional Chinese medicines. These medicines have withstood the test of time and made their names globally. The Chinese herbal medicine clinic in Toronto is a one stop solution for all medical needs.

FAQ

What conditions can Traditional Chinese Medicine treat?
The beauty and grace of TCM is that all disease and ill-health is believed to be based on the very same combinations of imbalances within the Vital Force of the body. All imbalances are capable of being corrected. Correct the imbalance, correct the disease.

What are the benefits of acupuncture?
Acupuncture is based on proven science which can confirm, by measuring skin resistance with electrical equipment, that there exist identifiable "energy meridians" within the body. By identifying the imbalanced meridian(s), and either adding or subtracting "chi," balance and good health can be restored.

Is Traditional Chinese Medicine safe?

 TCM uses natural herbs, and works in harmony with the systems of the body as they currently present. While any therapy presents challenges, the holistic nature of TCM, and the avoidance of radical steps like surgery, make it one of the safest modalities of therapy available today.

How long does it take to see results with Traditional Chinese Medicine?
TCM therapy is both a journey and a destination. Working with your Practitioner, you should see ongoing results which will be scrutinized as you progress. Interim changes may be made in dosage or diet. Ultimately both patient and Practitioner work together as a team. Normally patient will see the improvement after few days. Chronic disease will take longer to see the result.


Do you accept insurance for Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments?
Generally, insurance may be available, depending on the coverage of the patient, for only the acupuncture portion of the treatment, if applicable.
