In TCM, prevention is key. "A skillful doctor cures illness when there is no sign of disease and thus the disease never comes." - Huan Nan Zi, 120 B.C.

​

For over 4,000 years, prevention of disease has been the abiding principle in Chinese healthcare. TCM practitioners are trained to observe and address even the body’s smallest signs of imbalance. Pain, headaches, PMS, allergies, hot flashes, skin rashes or vision issues, even frequent sighing are the body’s way of signaling something is starting to go awry health-wise. Left untreated and dismissed as simply part of the modern human condition, symptoms can eventually progress into more serious ailments. This preventive aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine is an important part of the services at Healing Lotus Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Clinic . TCM Wellness is based on the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine, such as Yin and Yang, 5 Element Theory and the use of Acupuncture, Herbs, Massage, Tai Qi and Qi Gong to maintain health, prevent disease, rejuvenate, and maintain the beauty and psychological and wellbeing.
