Traditional Chinese Medicine
could be your answer.
Originating in China, this holistic practic is a safe system, developed over the course of the millennia that is founded on a specific view of how the human body functions.
In this perspective, our body has a natural energy called qi (or chi) that flows along pathways in the body called meridians, and health depends on a balance of opposing forces (yin and yang). When the flow becomes blocked or the forces become unbalanced, illness results.
This holistic approach uses a variety of means to restore and maintain the flow of qi and the balance of yin and yang. It makes use of therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure, massage, herbal medicine, changes to the diet, and a practice known as qi gong, which involves exercise, breathing, and meditation.
Acupuncture has captured the attention of the world and is fast becoming one of the most popular natural treatment methods today. Acupuncture alone has been proven to treat 41 diseases. These include respiratory ailments, pain and chronic pain conditions, PMS and other gynecological disorders, gastrointestinal disorders and many other health problems.
Massage therapy is another powerful tool used by practitioners worldwide to achieve numerous benefits to relax the whole body, loosen tight muscles, relieve tired and aching muscles to increase flexibility and range of motion, diminish chronic pain, calm the nervous system ,lower blood pressure and heart rate, enhance skin tone, assist in recovery from injuries and illness, strengthen the immune system, reduce tension headaches and mental stress, improve concentration, promotes restful sleep and aid in mental relaxation.
The Chinese physician is more of an advisor than an authority; he or she believes in treating every patient differently, based on the notion that one does not treat the disease or condition but rather the individual patient. Thus two people with the same complaint may be treated entirely differently, if their constitutions and life situations are dissimilar.
