Traditional chinese medicine is fast gaining popularity for it's holistic approach as well as the fact that they are all natural as opposed to the synthetic nature of western drugs.
Acupunture
Acupuncture was first systematized by the Chinese and it's methods and usage detailed in The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. Acunpunture acts by stimulating points on the energy meridians to unblock trapped energy, speeding it up or slowing it down as necessary to restore the body's harmony.
This is done by inserting and manipulating needles which are sometimes charged with a low electrical current at the energy points to correct the imbalances that affect the functioning of the internal organs of the body.
Tuina is a form of massage combined with chiropractice that has been used in China for centuries. Through a combination of massage and acupressure, pressure is applied to acupoints, meridians and groups of muscles or nerves to remove blockages that prevent the free flow of qi. Like acupunture, the basis of treatment is that by removing these blockages, the balance of qi in the body is restored.
Tuina is best suited for rectifying chronic pain, musculoskeletal conditions and stress-related disorders that affect the digestive and/or respiratory systems. Among the ailments tuina treats best are neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, sciatica and tennis elbow.
