Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine is a complete medical system that has been in a permanent and fruitful use for more than 3000 years. It considers patient’s body and mind as a whole - a unity with a complex system of interrelations between all its parts, hence its fundamental rule is to see and to treat a patient like a whole.
Chinese Medicine uses different methods of diagnosis in order to collect as much information about symptoms as possible. This allows the doctor to set a complete and solid foundation for an accurate diagnosis.
Bringing the person back to their balanced state (homeostasis) when they feel energized and revived may be achieved by using numerous modalities such as: acupuncture, proper nutrition for weight loss, herbal therapy, massage therapy, cupping therapy, and lifestyle counselling.
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the oldest herbal systems of the world, with an unbroken tradition going back to the 3rd century BC.
Yet throughout its history it has continually developed in response to changing clinical conditions, and has been sustained by research into every aspect of its use.
Because of its systematic approach and clinical effectiveness it has for centuries had a very great influence on the theory and practice of medicine in the East, and more recently has grown rapidly in popularity in the West. It still forms a major part of healthcare provision in China, and is provided in state hospitals alongside western medicine. Chinese medicine includes all oriental traditions emerging from Southeast Asia that have their origins in China.
TUI NA
Tui Na is the form of Asian bodywork most closely resembling conventional western massage. Many of the techniques are similar. Despite the similarities, the intent of Tui Na is more specifically therapeutic than the simple relaxation of a Swedish-style massage.
One of Tui Na’s advantages over simple massage is its ability to focus on specific problems, especially chronic pain associated with the muscles, joints, and skeletal system. It also helps chronic conditions such as insomnia, constipation, headaches (including migraines), and the tension associated with stress.
CUPPING
Cupping is a therapeutic treatment and is an ancient form of alternative medicine which involves warming and placing special cups (usually made of glass) on your skin. A therapist warms the air within the cup and this way creates a vacuum inside, and immediately applies the cup to your skin. The tissue is now drawn up into the cup. This increases the blood flow, loosens the fascia or connective tissue, and is thought to stimulate healing processes. Patients get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Cupping Orlando - what are the benefits?
The benefits of cupping include local pain relief and significant muscle relaxation. Cupping - including cupping in Orlando - improves overall health by removing the energy blockages that TCM (Traditional Chinese Practitioners) practitioners identify as obstacles to the flow of healthy energy or qi.
What specialists perform cupping in Orlando?
Orlando Cupping is generally performed by practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. Textbooks of TCM from over 1,000 years ago describe cupping techniques in minute details. It is crucial to find a practitioner who is skilled, experienced and licensed to provide cupping.

AURICULAR THERAPIES
Auriculotherapy, or auricular therapy, or ear acupuncture, or auriculo-acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the ear is a microsystem which reflects the entire body, represented on the auricle, the outer portion of the ear.
MOXIBUSTION
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing. Moxibustion has been used throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of Moxibustion, as with most forms of traditional Chinese medicine, is to strengthen the immune system, stimulate the flow of energy, and maintain general health.
