Information about these services:
TCM is an ancient medical system that has been practised in China for thousands of years. It includes acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. TCM holds the view that the human body is a holistic organism in and of itself, and as part of the universe. The condition of the whole body (body, mind, spirit) as well as the effects of nature (seasons, weather, environment, geographic factors) are all considered when making a TCM diagnosis and establishing the principles of treatment. Therefore, the treatment given to each person is individualized. Although TCM is an old form of traditional medicine, it has been successfully integrated with modern medicine in China over the last forty years. A lot of research work has been done since then. The results have strongly suggested the great value of and potential for TCM to augment the effects of modern medicine in promoting health.

Acupuncture helps to:
A. Balance Yin and Yang energies of the body
B. Strengthen the vital energy and the body’s defence against disease
C. Promote normal flow of Qi and Blood in the body
D. Stop pain

According to the theory of TCM, grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, in fact almost every food we eat has its own nature, which can be described as Yin or Yang, cold or warm, moist or dry. Each individual body has its own constitution, and it is only when the nature of food fulfills the needs of the body that we can get the most benefit from the food we eat. A healthy diet can avoid many health problems, and diet therapy is also used to help the recovery of diseases. At BMSHC, we provide you with information about your body constitution according to TCM principles and give you suggestions about the kind of diet that is most suitable for you.
