The
essence of traditional Chinese healing is to see the body
as a harmonious whole. Health is achieved by maintaining the
body in a delicate balance of Yin and Yang, which are mutually
dependent opposites. Yin is the dark side of the mountain,
cool, passive and still. Yang is the bright side of the mountain,
warm, active and open. The body's harmony is also based on
the interplay of five elemental forces represented by earth,
metal, water, wood and fire. Each of these elements corresponds
to an internal organ as well as emotions, tastes, colours
and sounds. When a correct balance of forces exists, Qi, the
essential life force, flows smoothly through Meridians connecting
the organ systems.

GU
FANG XUN SHEN
(ANCIENT BODY SMOKING) *
This is a traditional technique to rid the body of negative
energies. The whole body will be smoked with special
focus on several points. According to classical Chinese
healing, treatment will be less efficacious if patients
have traces of unwanted negative energies lingering
around their bodies. The herbs used as incense, with
acorus roots as major ingredient, have a potent cleansing
effect.
JIN PAO SHOU JIAO
(HERBAL HAND AND FOOT SOAK)
Soaks keep the limbs smooth and flexible, improve circulation,
reduce aches and pains and prevent arthritis. Among
the herbs used are cinnamon twigs and angelica roots,
which can promote circulation, remove excess dampness
and 'wind' in the body.
QUAN SHEN JIN YU (HERBAL BATH)
A warm herbal bath infusion specially blended for the
balancing of Yin and Yang dominance of the body. The
Yin body would need a warming herbal formulation while
a Yang dominance, a cooling one. Besides harmonizing
both the Yin-Yang principles in the body, these can
also support and complement various weight-loss programmes.

TUI-NA
AN-MO (MASSAGE) *
One of the major differences between Chinese massage and other
systems of massage is the focus placed on the acu-points and
directional flow of the subtle channels in the body. Tui-na
massage is more than a system of relaxation and tension release.
Although attention is also placed on the tendo-muscular system,
the focus on the subtle channels allows one to influence the
organs on a deeper level and treat complex complaints.
CUPPING, MOXABUSTION *
Cupping is a technique where bamboo or glass cups are heated
to create negative pressure and then applied immediately on
the skin. This method has various therapeutic benefits, but
the primary effect is the removal of heat and wind in the
body. Moxabustion uses a lighted herbal stick (like a cigar)
to heat up various acupoints in the body. It has the primary
benefits of dispelling cold, promoting circulation and activating
the points in the body. The choice of techniques, and their
combinations, will be recommended after consultation with
the specialist.
TAI CHI QUAN
Tai Chi Quan is an extensive system of therapeutic breathing,
postural and moving exercises, designed to develop inner stamina
and circulate energy. Not only is the physical body exercised,
but the energy systems of the body are also stimulated and
mental functions enhanced.
