Traditional Chinese Medicine

admin

Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM, included a wide range of traditional medicine practices originating in China. TCM is well-accepted in the mainstream of medical care through East Asia. However, it’s still considered an alternative medical system in much of Western world.

Traditional Chinese Medicine include treatments such as Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy, Tuina and Qigong. There are many major theories include: Yin and Yang, the Five Phases, the human body Meridian and Channel system, Zang Fu organ theory, six confirmations, four levels and more.

Traditional Chinese medicine share the same philosophy that informs Taoists and Buddhist. It reflects the classical Chinese belief that the life and activity of individual human beings have an intimate relationship with the environment on all levels. You can also think of your body as a small universe within the big universe. Everything in your body is working precisely together just like how all particles work together in the Universe.

TCM is also largely based on the philosophical concept that the universe is made of an energy called “qi”. This qi energy can be any state of matter in existence. The body is a small universe compile of a complex of subsystems of qi and matter. To achieve and maintain a healthy mind of body, all the systems must work together.

The balance forces of Yin and Yang is very important in Chinese Medicine. Everything in the Universe can be divided into one or the other. Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about diagnose between Yin and Yang organs, deficiency versus excess, emptiness veers fullness, hot and cold, wind, dampness, pathogens, internal versus external, meridian channels, qi, essences, body fluids, vessels and more.

Illness is usually caused by external versus internal factors which disrupt the body’s natural processes creating the unbalance state. To cure the illness is to strike to balance it with an opposite force.

An Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor or acupuncturist will diagnose your illness based on the following techniques:

  • Palpation of the radial artery pulse
  • Observations of tongue, voice, hair, face, posture, gait, eyes, ears and veins
  • Observation of patient’s various orders
  • Ask the effects of problems
  • Ask about detailed family medical history and background
  • Other health instruments without harming the patient

Based on the diagnoses, the TCM doctor will then apply the treatments. There are many TCM treatments such as: acupuncture, auriculotherapy, chinese food therapy, chinese herbal medicine, cupping, die-da, gua sha, moxibustion, qigong exercises and tui na.

TCM treatments are all about using natural herbs to strike the balance with the illness. Because it’s all natural herbs, the side effects is minimal to none. TCM used anything from herbal plants to animal parts as traditional medicine.

In the past, chinese medicine usually require brewing the different herbs together and then consume. However, with technology, they were allele take the same herbs and create it in soluble granules and tablets form for easier consumption.

With the Western Medicine dominating the world of medical, people get exposes to so many different Western medicines from the time they first born to old age. Western medicines usually always have long-term side effects that are harmful to the body. Today, a newborn baby can have up to 15 different shots by the time he or she is 1 year old. These shots supposedly helped the child immune system to block out different illness. However, many people fail to understand the long-term effects of the medicine. Western medicines are mostly combination of different chemicals, which cure an illness but also have many side effects. However, living in US, you cannot do without certain shot requirements. Now you can be proactive with treating the side effects before it’s too late.

Western Medicines also have a dependency effect for the taker. For example, when you take painkillers for headaches, the chemicals go directly to your brain to create numbness in parts of the body so you don’t feel the pain of headaches anymore. However, the same chemicals remain in the brain that in time create other problems. This is also why the dosage also increase through time because the body get use to the medicine. There is no dependency effect on traditional herbal medicines because everything is natural.

Traditional medicines is not about fast acting but it’s about long lasting without any side effects. When you have a headache, it’s your body way to alert you of the imbalance. Instead of ignoring the true source of the problems with painkillers you should strike a balance by curing the core issues with natural ingredients.

Yin Yang Wellness is all about treating the core issues with natural medicines and different techniques to help you create a healthy body and mind without any side effects. Give us a call today to schedule an appointment.

Vi a Besty por primera vez en Mayo del 2009 y mi vida no ha sido la misma desde entonces. Yo había sido un naufragio absoluto, desde mi cirugía vertebral (lamonetomy L3, L4 y L5), en noviembre de 2008 había estado con constante dolor severo en la cadera y la pierna inferior izquierda. He estado en la rehabilitación física y estaba tomando grandes cantidades de medicamentos para el dolor pero todo fue en vano. Después de tan sólo unos tratamientos de acupuntura empecé a sentirme como un nuevo (joven) hombre. Mi dolor desapareció y mi rango de movimiento mejoró notablemente. Sigo viendo a Betsy sobre una base semanal y ha sido de gran ayuda para conseguir mi viejo cuerpo en forma. La acupuntura, remedios de hierbas, baño de pies iónicos, masajes, etc. todo el trabajo para mantenerme sentirme mucho mejor. Ella realmente se ha convertido en mi médico preferido. He recomendado a Besty a los miembros de mi familia y recomendaría altamente a cualquier persona. Paz.

He estado viendo a Betsy en Yin Yang Acupuntura para cerca de 6 semanas. Ella fue recomendado por un buen amigo mío. Inicialmente fui con dolor crónico en mis articulaciones concentrado en mi codo derecho. Betsy es muy completa, no sólo cambio mi dieta, pero trabaja conmigo en problemas emocionales para ayudar a tratar otros síntomas. No me he sentido tan bien en años. Recientemente he tenido gente que no me han visto en un par de semanas, y comentan sobre mi aspecto más saludable tansolo en la cara. Estoy deseando que mi visita se semanal. Eva, la asistente de oficina, es muy amable y servicial, ella a cuidado de todo lo que tiene que ver con mi seguro.

After three week of agonizing pain from sciatic nerve injury, I was trying to run some errands and saw Ying Yang Acupuncture. I went in and talked to Besty about my problem and asked her a lot of questions. I decide to let her treat me. She spent over two hours with me and gave me exercises and other things to help. That night I felt relief. Each day I got better and by another treatment my pain was completely gone. My pain had been so great that I had to roll out of bed. Laying down or sitting I was in pain. After my second treatment Besty also help me with a diet plan to shed my extra weight. Today I am 15 pounds lighter, exercising and feeling better than I have in a long time. Thank you so much, Besty!!!

I have been seeing Betsy at Yin Yang Acupuncture for about 6 weeks now. She was recommended by a good friend of mine. I initially went in with chronic joint pain concentrated in my right elbow. Betsy is extremely thorough, not only changing my diet but working with me on emotional issues to help treat my symptoms. I have not felt this good in years. I’ve recently had people that haven’t seen me in a few weeks comment on how I look healthier in my face. I really look forward to my weekly visit. Eva, the office assistant, is very friendly and helpful, taking care of all my insurance filing for me.

I saw Besty the first time in May of 2009 and my life has not been the same since. I had been an absolute wreck since having back surgery (lamonetomy L3, L4 & L5) in November of 2008 I had been in constant severe pain in my lower left hip and leg. I had been to physical rehab and was taking substantial amounts of pain medication all to no avail. After just a few acupuncture treatments I started to feel like a new (younger) man. My pain subsided and my range of motion improved dramatically. I am continuing to see Betsy on a weekly basis and she’s been most helpful in getting my old body back in shape. The acupuncture, herbal remedies, ionic foot baths, massages, etc. all work to keep me feeling great. She has really become my preferred healthcare provider. I have recommended Besty to my family members and would highly recommend to to anyone. Peace.

Betsy treats me, the patient, with a lot of respect, as a whole. She takes the necessary time to find the different causes of my health problems and her treatments work. She makes me feel special and worth it. In Betsy, I am confident to have found a genuine path to a durable good health. With Betsy’s treatments, I started to get a complete change in my life. The first time I went to see Betsy, it was after the pain and psychological side effects of a bad car accident. I felt anxious for a long time. I was referred to Betsy by one of her patients. I didn’t know that the change could be so spectacular. Before I met her, I was also treated chemically for a small tumor I had on the pituitary gland. After a few weeks with Betsy, I was able to stop the chemical treatment with bad side effects. My health gets better and better and today I feel less stress in my life. My life has changed for the better. I am blessed to have Betsy as a Chinese doctor and I highly recommend Yin Yang acupuncture.

I have been seeing Dr. Betsy for several months and have seen significant improvements with my complaints. She uses a variety of techniques – acupuncture, cupping, detoxification methods, color therapy and herbal remedies. What I value, besides her expertise, is her generosity with self-care techniques which I can use on myself between sessions. She is caring, but to the point, honest and sincere. I have recommended her to many of my clients who are now seeing her in conjunction with me and who are very pleased with the results they are getting.

It is difficult to put into words, the changes that I have felt since I started going to Betsy. It has been nothing short of miraculous. It is amazing how one symptom relates to another. I definitely feel like I have more energy. She is a unique individual, unlike anyone else that I have gone too. I look forward to my visits rather than it being a chore as in the past.  Betsy looks at the individual as a whole rather than a specific ailment and attempts to look at the person’s root cause. She has the ability to make the patient feel at ease, somewhat like a family member. I sensed that she really cares deeply about her patients and does more than what is she charges. The thing that I found most intriguing about her style was the individual care she brings.  Most doctors that I have dealt with you are allowed 5-10 minutes (after waiting about an hour at least) and you might be able to ask a question if you’re lucky and don’t dare question their prognosis and the prescriptions. I have gone to several doctors and acupuntists in the past, and this is first time that someone has taken the time to explain understandably in layman terms.  Her initial visit is about and an hour or longer.  Betsy’s philosophy appears to be to educate the patient and have them get involved in the ownership in their health.  It is sort of like a partnership rather than just going to a doctor and expecting them to fix you without any effort on your part. Betsy diagnosis many things such as your posture, sleep, looks at your tongue, diet, eyes,   blood work and the list goes on.  She offers many services that I have tried personally such as acupuncture, cupping, iridology and ionic foot bathes. It has been my good fortune to meet and have Betsy as my acupuncturist.
