Possibly the first thing to be labeled "Made in China" By Dr. Paul Reynolds 
The textbook “Yellow Emperor's Classic of Inner Medicine” was written approximately 200 B.C. and yet is it still the core textbook in the world of Oriental Medicine. Reading some of the text, it seems especially relevant today. One question asks: “Why in ancient times did people live long and productive lives but nowadays they die in misery and despair?” And the answer: “In ancient times people understood how to live according to nature, knowing how to avoid excesses and abuses.” So what makes this form of medicine so different, and what accounts for its effectiveness through thousands of years? Read on…… Computer Failure Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a whole system of medicine that integrates many therapies and is applied by practitioners to treat illness and disease. For thousands of years TCM has acknowledged that there is a vital life force that flows through all things which is called " qi " (pronounced ‘chee'). In Western culture, it is often referred to as "energy." Energy ( qi ) flows along pathways in the human body which are related to the organs, the muscular system, and nervous system. Much like a computer, the body is born with instructions and structures that work together to build, maintain, and repair itself. Poor diet, lack of exercise, increased stress all contribute to the body getting “out of balance” and in some cases “crashing” when the energy is blocked. By using TCM which incorporates acupuncture and herbal formulas, the body's energy flow can be reactivated, which in turn stimulates the natural healing process and re-boots the body. Acupuncture is probably the best-known element of TCM and was first developed during the Chou dynasty (1030 BC to 221 BC) of Chinese history, as a system of therapy involving the needling of precise points on the body. Each pathway or channel of energy corresponds to a particular organ. Acupuncture points are specific locations on the channel that may be needled to affect the balance of its energy, and thereby regulate the function of its corresponding organ. The most commonly-asked acupuncture question is “does it hurt?” Many people envisage they will be turned into human pin-cushions and stuck with needles that you could sew with. The needles used in treatment resemble a thread or filament and are extremely fine. Most patients do not feel the needles being inserted into their skin, but they may experience a slight sensation as the needle is manipulated and the qi/energy is reached. This generally lasts for a couple of seconds. Chinese Take-Out Ancient Chinese herbal formulas are as effective now as they were when first introduced more than 2,000 years ago. Most formulas consist of two to eighteen different herbs. Formulas treat a wide variety of symptoms while stimulating the body's natural healing process. In many cases, herbal formulas have demonstrated excellent results with patients who fail to respond to conventional pharmaceutical treatments , specifically designed for each individual's body.

LifeWorks Delivers TCM with TLC LifeWorks Wellness Center offers Traditional Chinese Medicine to patients of all ages, including children. During your first visit, your practitioner will evaluate the exact nature and degree of energy imbalance which may be resulting in disease or illness. This involves evaluation of data obtained by clinical observation, questioning and palpation of the pulses. Your practitioner will ask you a series of questions about yourself, which will help to determine your body type and will also identify which organ of your body you rely on to draw the most energy. Constantly providing energy can result in that organ be coming depleted, and it will need nurturing to return to optimal functioning. Most people are familiar with the black and white symbol of Yin and Yang but many are not aware of its significance. In the human body, Yin represents female energy which relates to a person's anatomy. Yang energy is the male energy which drives the body's physiology. These two energy forces are inter-dependent on each other, and it is important to maintain a balance between them. “Stressors” in your life e.g.: food, lifestyle, job etc. can result in a body to be coming over-dominated by one or the other, so part of evaluation and treatment will be determined by your balance of Yin and Yang. Then it's time to explore the different treatment options. Your practitioner may use the following techniques within your session; Acupuncture, Moxibustion (heat), Cupping (suction), Auricular Therapy (ear acupuncture) and Tuina, a soft tissue massage and structural adjustment. At the end of your consultation, you may also be given some Chinese herbs to take between consultations, and these will be specific to your body's requirements. It is important to remember that your treatment doesn't end when you leave the treatment room. The guidelines for healing described by the practitioner are designed to empower you. When used correctly, food is medicine. Depending on your specific condition, you may be advised what to eat and what to avoid until your body returns to a balanced state. It is also important to maintain a body temperature of 98.6° but many people run too hot or too cold. If that is the case, you may be advised to limit your intake of either hot or cold food and drink until your treatment is complete. The most important aspect to remember is that when you have made a withdrawal from the energetic checking account, it's important to pay it back. Chinese Herbal Medicine can help you do that.
