"Traditional Chinese Medicine, (TCM) as a system of health care has been around more than 2000 years. In TCM there are two basic principles:  The concept of the body as a whole, and diagnosis and treatment based on an overall analysis of signs and symptoms.   What a western health response would see as an ailment, the Chinese approach as a symptom, therefore more information is needed to determine the underlying cause of this symptom.  A doctor of TCM will be treating the "root and the branch" - the symptom and the cause. Treatment by TCM is therefore highly individualized.  TCM treatments include herbal medicine. Acupuncture and Tuina (Chinese massage)." -- Dr. Sue Cheng, Victoria, Australia Photographs: Chinese Medicine Balls by Paul Carpenter Chinese Medicine by Mareen Fischinger

Inner Balance Spa Calgary, Alberta, Canada Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient form of healing which addresses the human body as a whole, encompassing Mind, Body, and Spirit. Acupuncture is an integral component of TCM which involves the insertion of thin, hair like needles into specific acupoints to achieve therapeutic effects. The main goal of acupuncture is to regulate, circulate and balance the Qi and Blood of the body.   When harmony is achieved within the internal organs of the body, the individual will be in good health and enjoy a higher quality of life. Many factors can cause the body to be out of balance. For example, stress, diet, and overworking. However equilibrium can be achieved through regulation via Acupuncture and TCM. It is better to prevent a problem before it occurs than to solve the problem after it has manifested. Acupuncture can boost the immune system, rejuvenate the body's energy, maintain inner balance, and calm the mind for clearer thinking.  Acupuncture is relatively painless and has no adverse side effects when administered from well trained professionals. Spruce Body Lab Vancouver, BC, Canada Located in the heart of Yaletown, the facility includes twelve spacious treatment rooms, a relaxation lounge, an infrared sauna, change rooms and shower facilities. A staff of experienced Registered Massage Therapists and skin care specialists, as well as a medical doctor and a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, make up the dedicated team at Spruce.
