Most people seek out Chinese medicine when they have a problem. A friend may have told them how acupuncture helped her sciatic pain or they may have read about herbs for fertility or sinus congestion. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is a time-honored approach.
Increasingly, however, people are trying to avoid getting sick in the first place by managing stress, eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise. Call it anti-aging or preventive medicine — there is a trend toward pursuing a state of wellness, which is more than the mere absence of disease.
Prevention has always been the hallmark of Chinese medicine. Throughout the centuries people have turned to acupuncture and Chinese herbs in times of uncertainty, war, turmoil, and pestilence. Today patients use Chinese medicine to manage stress, keep focused and to boost their immune system.
With Chinese medicine, staying well is an achievable goal.
