 Chinese medical practitioners use cultural beliefs to interpret the states of wellbeing. Any disharmony of the equilibrium of Yin and Yang or disturbance of their flow can cause imbalance. The task of a Chinese doctor is to restore such imbalance. Treatments include herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, massage, breathing exercise and diet. The aim of the treatments is to enhance or reduce the Yin or Yang in order to treat the body as a whole, rather than any particular symptom.
Traditional Chinese Medical Consultation and Treatments Chuan Spa's Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) treatment session includes a consultation by a qualified TCM practioner to interpret your states of wellbeing and relative treatment(s) will be prescribed. Prescribed treatment(s) may include: An ancient traditional Chinese technique to help strengthen the blood and stimulate the flow of Qi to maintain general health. Moxibustion involves the burning of a small, spongy Chinese herb, known as moxa, to facilitate healing. The practitioner will light one end of a moxa stick and hold it close to an acupressure point for several minutes to bring about a pleasant heat sensation penetrating deep into the skin. Cupping refers to an ancient Chinese practice in which a heated cup is applied to the skin and the pressure in the cup has therapeutic effect on the skin and superficial muscle layer. Cupping is applied to certain acupressure points, as well as to regions of the body that are affected by pain. Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised in China for thousands of years. Its focus is on improving the overall wellbeing of the patient, rather than treating specific symptoms. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health depends on the body's motivating energy - known as Qi - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin. By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, it can stimulate the body's own healing response and help restore its natural balance. Treatment bookings should be made 24 hours in advance and are subject to availability. Other TCM treatments are available. Please contact Chuan Spa concierge for more details. |
