Chinese medical practitioners use cultural beliefs to interpret the states of wellbeing. Any disharmony of the equilibrium of Yin and Yang or disturbance of their flow can cause imbalance. The task of a Chinese doctor is to restore such imbalance. Treatments include herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, massage, breathing exercise, and diet. The aim is to supplement the deficiency of either yin or yang or to reduce the excess. The holistic approach of Chinese medicine is to treat the body as a whole and address any imbalance.
Traditional Chinese Medical Consultation and Treatments
Chuan Spa’s Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) treatment session includes a consultation by a qualified TCM practitioner to interpret your states of wellbeing and relative treatment(s) will be prescribed.
Prescribed treatment(s) may include:
|
Moxibustion |
An ancient traditional Chinese technique to help strengthen the blood and stimulate the flow of ‘Qi’ to maintain general health. Moxibustion involves the burning of a small, spongy Chinese herb, known as moxa, to facilitate healing. The practitioner will light one end of a moxa stick and hold it close to an acupressure point for several minutes to bring about a pleasant heat sensation penetrating deep into the skin. |
|
Ho Guan (Cupping) |
Cupping refers to an ancient Chinese practice in which a heated cup is applied to the skin and the pressure in the cup has therapeutic effect on the skin and superficial muscle layer. Cupping is applied to certain acupressure points, as well as to regions of the body that are affected by pain. |

Acupuncture |
Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised in China for thousands of years. Its focus is on improving the overall wellbeing of the patient, rather than treating specific symptoms. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health depends on the body's motivating energy - known as Qi - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin. By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, it can stimulate the body’s own healing response and help restore its natural balance. |
| Myofascial Therapy |
A gentle blend of stretching and massage, myofascial release therapy promotes healing and relieves pain through hands-on manipulation of the entire body. The gentle and sustained stretching of myofascial release can free up fascia that may be impeding blood vessels or nerves. Myofascial release is also said to enhance the body's innate restorative powers by improving circulation and nervous system transmission. |
