What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Traditional Chinese medicine takes a holistic approach to therapy, focusing on your whole being. Specifically, it describes the human body in terms of Qi, a vital energy connecting physiology, psychology and their respective meridians. Balancing Qi helps one feel calmer and more focused.

You can replenish your Qi through traditional Chinese treatments, including:

  • Moxibustion: Moxibustion stimulates your body’s acupuncture points. This therapy entails burning a moxa — a cone or stick made from ground mugwort leaves and other herbs. As a result of the heat, you can restore your body’s Qi.
  • Cupping: Cupping involves using special cups on the skin at pressure points to create suction. The suction promotes healing, improves blood circulation and releases muscle tension.
  • Herbal remedies: Chinese medicine uses herbal remedies to supplement the body with Qi and cleanse toxins. Herbal medicine can treat acute and chronic illnesses and promote health and beauty.

Stress and anxiety

I suffered from hot flashes, severe hot flashes. I tried everything on the market that might help; anything I could get my hands on. Nothing worked until I came to the Yang Institute for treatment. After taking the particular Chinese herbal medicine, and receiving weekly acupuncture, the hot flashes started to go away. And now it’s been a year, and it’s like I don’t even have them anymore. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have also helped with pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. My bowel movements are more regular, and a mole that was on the center of my back has completely disappeared.” – Elizebeth T

I suffer from chronic sinusitis for years, and it often turned into a severe infection. Antibiotics always upset my stomach and made me extremely fatigued when I had to use it to control the condition. The Chinese herbal therapy that I have received in the Yang Institute had cleared my sinus entirely.
