Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM is a medical system that has helped diagnose, treat and prevent illness for over two thousand years. Asian Medicine can be very effective in treating disease. It can enhance your energy, immunity, and endurance for work and creativity.

Treatments include the use of acupuncture, acupressure and different herbal formulations to support
the body’s systems and correct the dynamics between all of one’s organs. It is usually the stagnant/
accumulation of Qi (life energy) and blood in different areas of the body that causes pain.

Acupuncture itself is the insertion of very fine, sterile, steel acupuncture needles into specific points to move Qi and blood. Insertion of the needles goes unnoticed to some, while others may feel a slight pinch followed by a warm or dull sensation. At Lakeside Natural Health Centre only sterilized disposable needles are used, and discarded after each use.
