Traditional Chinese Medicine Philosophy and Wellness
Traditional Chinese Medicine, originated in the Oriental more than 4000 years ago, has a board philosophy by combining clinical medical technology and accumulated experience enriched by Chinese historical and cultural background. It allows different views and perspectives towards development of diseases as a comprehensive medical system emphasising body holism for organs to work together in overall balanced system.
Acupuncture is a widely practiced treatment technique by inserting and manipulating fine needle at specific meridian points on body to deliver therapeutic effects (Chon & Lee, 2013). Researchers indicated high efficacy of acupuncture for pain, depression, anxiety, addiction and other systematic conditions with long-term benefit (Chon & Lee, 2013). World Health Organization in 2003 recognised the effectiveness of acupuncture for 28 diseases or conditions based on reviews and analysis of reports on multiple controlled clinical trials (Chon & Lee, 2013). Acupuncture is reputably considered as safe intervention incurring a relatively low risk in the hands of competent acupuncturists (White, 2004).
Complementary medicine is vastly developing and there has been a significant shift towards preventative health prior to occurrence of illness. We embrace the philosophy of supporting physical and emotional balance to achieve complete health. This is our aim to promote awareness of wellness by encouraging all aged to take proactive holistic steps to restore and enhance health actively and effectively.
