If you are looking for a medication technique to look after your mental and physical health, consider traditional Chinese medicine. With its origin in China, TCM is a holistic system of healthcare that has been practiced for thousands of years in China and other parts of Asia.
However, its use in the United States as part of complementary healthcare has grown dramatically over the last few decades. Here are the 5 commonly used Chinese medicine for holistic wellness:
Acupuncture
As the name suggests, Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points like the external anatomy of an ear, stimulating the vagus nerve, which calms the body and supports the digestive system to stimulate energy flow (Qi) and promote balance within the body. All these specialties make it one of the most commonly practiced natural therapies for stress management in the USA.
Acupressure
Similar to the TCM practice of Acupuncture, Acupressure involves applying pressure to specific points on the body. These points correspond to meridians, the channels through which Qi (body energy) flows. By stimulating these points, it aims to promote balance and improve the flow of energy within the body.
During an acupressure session, pressure is typically applied by the practitioners on the patient’s body using their fingers, thumbs, palms, or specialized tools. The pressure may be gentle or firm, depending on the patient’s body tolerance.
Qi-Gong
Qi Gong consists of gentle movements, breathing exercises, and other meditation techniques aimed at cultivating and balancing Qi in the body. Regular practice of Qi Gong can help calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote mental stability.
Tai Chi
Similar to Qi Gong, Tai Chi is a mind-body practice that combines slow, flowing movements with deep breathing and mental focus. Practicing Tai Chi can help promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, improve mood, and enhance cognitive function.
Tuina Massage
Tuina is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage that focuses on stimulating acupressure points and manipulating the body’s energy channels. Tuina massage can help release tension, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve insomnia and sleep quality.
