METHOD
1
Chinese Medicine is Energy medicine.
The term energy medicine refers to the wide range of healing modalities used to diagnose and treat illness by manipulating the energy—the vital life force referred to as “qi” in traditional Chinese medicine—that pulses through the cells of our bodies. Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of healing, which we practice in a thoroughly modern way.
