Traditional Chinese Medicine is effective at treating many common ailments. Pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), allergies, common cold, digestive problems, and menopausal symptoms are commonly treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

To understand how Chinese medicine works, one must first concede that there is no separation of mind, body, and spirit. The body cannot live without the mind and vice versa. Western medicine seeks to separate and examine each of these components of the human experience in minute detail. Unlike Western medicine, the Eastern system does not seek to quantify the measure of health in the body.

A natural or Traditional Chinese approach to your health may help anyone in any state of health or disease. Any problem you would consider asking your family physician about, or any disease found in a textbook of internal medicine can benefit from a holistic approach. It should not be applied instead of surgery or drugs. However, I have seen many patients reduce their dosage of a drug or wean themselves from a drug many times using alternative techniques.

Alternative medicine refers to treatments other than those which would be typically prescribed, including herbal medicine, non-medication therapies, homeopathy and nutrition treatments. ADHD treatments range from diet restrictions to herbal products; EEG to video games. Results vary, depending on the individual and the treatment being used.

Chinese medicine is probably the safest kind of medicine there is. The needles are all sterile, filiform (solid), and come in single use blister packs in today's medical practice.

No, not if the formula has been correctly chosen and written. Most of the medicinals in the Chinese materia medica have a very low toxicity compared to even common, over-the-counter Western drugs.
