Traditional Healing Approach & Philosophy

"It's supposed to be a professional secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help and encourage the doctor within."——ALBERT SCHWEITZER

"Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well." —Hippocrates, M.D., 460?-370? B.C., Father of Western Medicine

We are inspired by, and devoted to:

supporting healing and healthier ways of living

helping people heal, both for individuals and for communities

rediscovering traditional approaches to healing, which have already been proven effective over time

acting as an adjunct to standard medical care that is received.

The kind of treatment received at a doctor’s office or a hospital is often thought of as "traditional medicine," but from a historical point of view, holistic health care is much longer established and more time-honored than modern, "conventional" medicine. Modern medicine intervenes wonderfully where crises arise, practicing a medicine that is superb when it comes to surgery, emergency, trauma and critical care (modern diagnostic tests are also valuable, and we advocate regular check-ups as recommended by your healthcare professional). Traditional Medicine offers many advantages for just about everything else because it strengthens the body to heal itself and prevent illness.

Traditional does not mean, "old-fashioned" (which is instead, the meaning of 'traditionalism'), but instead we choose to interpret its meaning as "using wisdom, knowledge, and skills gathered and transmitted by countless generations to make practical use of the natural laws of our world."

Traditional Medicine is a holistic approach to healing that addresses the underlying causes of disease, unlike many modern medicines which suppress symptoms without allowing the body to heal itself. Conventional medical treatments often result in harmful side effects. Traditional Medicine teaches us that symptoms are a response to a disease that is causing imbalance in the body.

Instead of suppressing symptoms, Traditional Oriental Medicine works with the body to stimulate balanced healing. Oriental Medicine also takes into account the unique characteristics of both the individual and the ailment/disease, and offering a specific remedy to stimulate a healing response.

TRADITIONAL HOLISTIC MEDICINE
OFFERS SOMETHING ‘NEW’:

Although holistic health care may seem to be a new field to you, this movement has grown steadily in popularity during the past two decades in the United States. Traditional Chinese Medicine is now growing rapidly throughout America because it is based on a system of healing therapies at least 3,000 years old--principles and therapies that still work to provide effective results! These principles also offer a perfect complement to modern conventional medicine.

Our bodies have a natural ability to work their own cure.

A healer uses a deep knowledge of restorative therapies & medicines, combined with compassion and intuition to bolster another person in their recovery. Natural medicine helps us heal from the inside out. However, unless you change the way you are, you will continue to have what you’ve got. We cannot expect doctors, therapists, druggists, or public officials to take the full responsibility for making us well through visits, hospitalizations, pills, or laws. We each need to look to ourselves and to meet our equal responsibility in the domain of our personal health. The solutions are not external—they are within.

If you really have the desire to be well;

if you are ready to take the responsibility for your well-being into your own hands;

if you are dissatisfied with the conventional health care you recieve—NOW is the time to make sure you have the optimal care necessary to reach and consistently maintain the peak of vibrant good health, which makes life truly worth living!
