UNDERSTANDING ANCIENT CHINESE MEDICINE

Pure WellbeingCo founder, ShuQuan Liu,Doctor of TCMA, says it is easy to integrate ancient Chinese medicine into your life so you can become as healthy as you possibly can. Chinese medicine is a 5000 year old holistic system that sees the body and mind as one – each has a profound effect over the other.

“Your emotions affect your organs and the breakdown of one organ can unbalance the others, leading to health problems,” ShuQuan Liu,Doctor of TCMA, an expert in Chinese Medicine, says. “Chinese medicine treats your whole body, not just the symptoms of disease. In ancient China, doctors had to pay if their patients became sick, so it was in their best interests to keep everyone as healthy as possible.”

ShuQuan Liu,Doctor of TCMA said Chinese medicine was not a “miracle cure” but it could help alleviate symptoms.

Research has shown that acupuncture, given immediately after a stroke, may help with recovery and relieve the side effects of chemotherapy – although the success rate or otherwise is different for every person. “Ancient Chinese medicine is an exquisitely complex, yet deceptively simple healing system,” ShuQuan Liu,Doctor of TCMA says.

The our main principles of ancient Chinese medicine are:

  1. You are connected to nature. We are all part of nature; the air we breathe, the food we receive from the earth and the energy we get from the sun are connected. Like the trees, rivers and mountains all our organs should, if healthy, age at the same speed as the universe. If one of our organs is not functioning properly it’s a sign we are not using our body to its optimum level.
  2. Your body can self heal. Your body reflects nature, and just as nature can regenerate, so can your body if you allow your body enough time. This is not a quick fix solution.
  3. Your mind and body are as one. Your mind and emotions are intricately linked to your physical body. Just as you have a natural body shape, you have a natural emotional pattern. Ancient Chinese medicine understands that everything is energy, and a person’s wellbeing depends on balancing your physical and mental energy.
  4. Prevention is the best cure. The core of ancient Chinese medicine is prevention. It aims to stop disease by balancing your organs and making sure the body’s systems work in harmony.
