Chinese Medicine is an ancient way of healing which has emerged from the classical teachings and explorations of the ancient Daoist, Buddhist and Confucian medical texts in China. The philosophy is based on a holistic view of the world where everything is inherently connected. The the macrocosm of nature and the stars are seen in the microcosm of the human body and vice versa. In other words, you can understand much of the body’s workings by observing the nature and its cycles.

Human beings are born out of the creativity of Heaven and Earth. We are physical, emotional, mental and spiritual creatures. We consist of Shen -the original spirit, Hun -the soul, Po - the animal soul, Yi -the mind and Zhi -the will to live.

Everything is in movement. The lack of free flow leads to stagnation and disturbance of the free flow of Qi, blood and fluids.

Chinese Medicine explains the phenomena of the world through various cosmological concepts like the two complementary polarities of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements or Phases and the three treasures of Shen spirit, Qi life force and Jing essence. The meridians or channels of the body are seen as waterways through which the body establishes a network of communication within itself and the environment. In that communication the acupuncture points are like gates or sign posts along the way to allow the Qi to flow unimpeded. The points bring forth the different aspects needed to exist in integrity as a human being.

My style of practise is mostly influenced by the Classical Chinese Medicine and includes the whole channel system. I use very thin needles and rarely use more than 10 needles in one treatment.

Terrain
Our body is like a landscape that is conscious of itself. It is creating, repairing, maintaining and cleaning its tissues. It is all the time healing. Everything the body does it does for a reason, we just don’t always understand its motives. Dis-ease develops when disconnection occurs between the heart and the mind or between our inner self and the outer world. Symptoms develop when the emotions run rampant, when we are agitated or if we treat the body with disrespect or being exposed to visible and invisible toxins.
