Go To A Chinese Medicine Practitioner And Get A Physical And Mental Tune Up

Doctors in ancient China would go from village to village, where they would see every villager, and as required, would provide them with advice or treatment. The physician, in return would receive a tiny recompense from each person he saw. Villagers would stop paying the doctor when they got sick.

The job of the doctor during that time was to not to cure disease but to prevent it and keep the patient healthy. This system is very much different to the modern way, where medical advice is only sought after we’re already sick.

The methods use in Chinese medicine can be used to maintain well-being and health as well as to treat disease, and this is how they were traditionally used in China. Getting tui na massage and acupuncture on a regular basis helps to keep levels of energy of a person up, bolster immunity, and normalize the flow of Chi in the body.

Eating foods proper for the season and considering your current state of health, constitution, sex, and age, can also really make a big difference. The ageless wisdom of Chinese Nutritional therapy enables practitioners to dispense advice on exactly how and what a person should be eating at the current time to preserve his vitality and health.

For the maintenance of health and well-being, there are three ways Chinese Medicine can help:

1. Special Treatments – Certain therapies can be applied to strongly improve the vital energy or Chi of the body. This is an aspect of the art of ‘nourishing life’, that’s used to improve functioning and overall health and to slow down the aging process. Special treatments can be appropriate for anyone past the age of 30. A few treatments are typically repeated once a year and administered close together. The healing effects of heat therapy or moxibustion are usually availed of for this purpose.

2. Regular treatments – One ideal way to maintain vitality and health is to undergo treatment each month or every six weeks. Regular tui na massage and/or acupuncture treatments can keep you healthy and relaxed, and helps resist sickness, enhances sleep, and alleviates stress. As things change in your life, nutritional therapy can also be customized based on your particular circumstances.

3. Seasonal treatments – A lot of people find that they fall ill or struggle at the coming and goings of the seasons. These can be proper times for enhancing treatment to keep one’s levels of energy up, prevent illness, and strengthen the immune system.

Therefore, if you could do with a boost or seem to feel out-of-sorts, go to a local Chinese medicine practitioner in Vancouver and get yourself a physical and mental tune up!
