Chinese Medicine includes a large array of health practices dating back 4,000 years. These health practices include: herbal therapy, cupping acupuncture, moxibustion, dietary therapy, auricular medicine, and exercises in breathing and movement (tai chi and qi gong). Some or several of these may be employed in the course of treatment.

Many people have heard of the concepts of Yin and Yang. Chinese medicine is used to keep the fundamental balance and harmony between the Yin and Yang. Clinical strategies are based upon the diagnosis of patterns of signs and symptoms that indicate an imbalance.

However, the tradition as a whole places great emphasis on lifestyle management to prevent disease before it occurs. Chinese medicine recognizes that health is more important than just the absence of disease, and it uniquely helps to support and enhance our capacity for well-being and happiness.
