Often used in addition to general medicine, it is mainly used in the treatment of chronic diseases. Focus on the role and benefits of this particular medical system.
What is traditional Chinese medicine?
Chinese medicine has existed for thousands of years and is a natural therapeutic method based on vital energy, called Qi (pronounced Tchi). It is based on a complex vision according to which the 5 elements of the universe (Earth, Metal, Water, Fire, Wood) work in interaction in order to heal the body. The main goal is to investigate the origin and source of the disease in order to maintain a balance in physical and mental health. In this context, Chinese medicine seeks to understand the functioning of the human being as well as the relationship between the body and the elements mentioned above.
Chinese medicine in Nantes is made up of five branches, namely acupuncture, dietetics, pharmacopoeia (herbal treatment), Qigong and Tui Na massages. Each therapeutic tool is intended to prevent chronic diseases and applies to all body systems: digestive, blood and cardiovascular, respiratory, locomotor, tendino-muscular, reproductive, ocular and auditory, genitourinary, etc. It can also be used in the treatment of allergies and addictions. Acupuncture is the most recognized branch of Chinese medicine. With the help of needles, it helps maintain good circulation of Qi and relieve pain after an operation.
The Benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine aims to balance the Ying and the Yang in order to avoid disturbances in the circulation of vital energy in the body. Its effectiveness on chronic diseases is undeniable. Millions of people have used alternative medicine (hypnosis, relaxation technique, acupuncture...) To cure headaches, coughs, insomnia and anxiety attacks, etc. Other patients, for their part, have a preference for traditional treatments such as homeopathy and herbal medicines, because these constitute an excellent treatment complementary to any conventional treatment. Cancer patients have even used these complementary medicines to better strengthen their immune defenses and increase the chances of recovery. As mentioned earlier, energy imbalance is the cause of all diseases. The essence of Chinese medicine is therefore in the ability to identify the original cause of the imbalance of Qi and to propose an adequate treatment to permanently remove the roots of any disease. Thus, Chinese medicine acts on the real causes of the latter and not only on the symptoms, unlike Western medicine. It allows both to cure pathologies and to delay their evolution. It is also a great way to prevent chronic noncommunicable diseases and relieve the side effects of treatment. This is the case of cancer with chemotherapy
