Pain Relief and Energy

Are you feeling rundown, stressed, suffering from migraines, insomnia, skin conditions, backpain, or anxiety? Maybe it is time to explore another option? You may have heard of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but did you know that more than 3 million Australians visit TCM practitioners every year to heal and prevent various conditions?

According to the owner of TCM Wellness Centre in the Mandarin Centre, Samantha Wang, many of her customers finish their TCM treatment happy and satisfied. She runs a particularly successful acupuncture weight loss program and a a face-lifting and firming program for more mature skin needing rejuvenating! ‘Who wants a knife if you don’t need it!!’ says Samantha.

Yin and Yang

The ancient Chinese proposed that every living thing is sustained by a balance of two opposing forces of energy, called Yin and Yang. Together, they make up the life essence, or Qi - a type of energy that flows through the body via invisible channels called meridians. Half of certain organs and meridians are governed by Yin and the other half by Yang. When Yin and Yang are out of balance in the body, this causes a blockage of Qi and a subsequent illness. Yin and Yang imbalances can be caused by stress, pollution, poor diet, emotional upsets or infection. For diagnostic purposes, Yin and Yang are further subdivided into interior and exterior, hot and cold, deficiency and excess.

The five elements in Chinese herbal medicine

The TCM philosophy proposes that everything including organs of the body - is composed of the five elements: fire, earth, metal, water and wood. The herbs are similarly classified into the five tastes - sweet, salty, bitter, pungent and sour - which correspond to the five elements.

 The main practices of TCM are:

·       Acupuncture: very fine needles placed gently in the skin

·       Cupping: heated cups that create suction on your skin

·       Herbs: teas, powders, and capsules made mostly from plants

·       Meditation: a way to sit quietly and calm your mind

·       Moxibustion: dried herbs burned near the skin

TCM Wellness Centre at the Mandarin Centre practices all of these, and all practitioners are accredited through AHPRA – the Chinese Medicine Board. Additional services at TCM Wellness include physiotherapy and remedial massage for chronic pain, so its a full package ! Private Health Insurance may also cover some remedial massage therapies.
