What is Chinese Medicine?

The Chinese methods of medicine belong to the oldest living medical traditions in the world and are internationaly recognised as of importance for the future development of a mondial medicine system. The United Nations and many other organisations recognise the importance of effectiveness and the low treatment costs that are attached to Chinese Medicine.

Chinese Medical methodology bases itself on the priciple and idea of Qi (read chee) manipulation. Qi is seen as a universal substance that ought to be basic in the formation of the world such as we know it. Qi is being translated both with 'information' and 'functional activity'. Chinese Medicine sees disease as a form of confusion; either of the body, the mind, or both. Chinese Medicine combines traditionally several techniques to bring recovery of health. It is a wholistic and natural way of healing and curing, that helps you to live more vital and more happy by seeing recovery as a learning process.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture makes corrections in streams of force in your body through using small neadles as a lever. Through strategic needling 0.3 mm needles throught the skin into the deeper tissues and bloodflow mental and bodily processes can be directed. Like other systems of Chinese medicine it stimulates the self restoring powers of your body. There are many diseases in which acupuncture is effective. Ask for information if your problem can also be resolved with acupuncture. (see list below for examples).

Herbs and Minerals

Herbs and minerals are food supplements that sopport the body in the healing proces. they are mostly ingested as a thea or pill. As a thea they are most effective. but mostly not very tastfull. as a supportive therapy they are mostly used in chronic disease caused by deficiency.

Tui Na Massage

Chinese massage stimulates a.o. the circulation of blood, motility of your joints and also the self regenerating potency of your body. Massage can be used to vitalise, but also to relax. Massage is often used as a supportive technique, but it can be the ultimate solution of specific problems, like blocking of Qi in the Channels.

Qigong therapy

Qigong is the secret heart of Chinese Medicine. Without experiental practice of the therapist with Qigong exercise is often only half as effective and mostly symptomatic. Qigong as a therapy can be self exercise, group practice or energetic influencing og mind or body by the therapist. Qigong as a healing technique works with the energies of the organs, aura, chakras, Qi and blood channels, mechanisms of emotions and thinking. Qigong is currently the medicinal system with the most posibillities for healing, curing and self development.

Diagnosis

Chinese diagnosis uses mainly puls and tong diagnosis next to scanning methods to perceive directly into the body what is the matter. René Goris is internationally renowned as a specialist in these traditional diagnostic.

("Chinese Medicine is in the YYC practiced by René Goris, who is autor of a book on Qigong and is headmaster from the International Qigong Academy (Oriental College for Qigong Studies). As a therapist and teacher he is often asked as a speaker at congresses and other occasions in Europe and the U.S.")
