In TCM, life is sustained by an energy force called "Chi". It is as vital to our well-being as the water we drink and the air we breath. "Chi" is all around us, conceptually similar to the air in our atmosphere. Just as weather is regulated by atmosphere pressures and amongst other factors. The flow and stagnation of "Chi" has a profound impact to our health and well-being. Traditional Chinese Medicine has spent centuries studying the relationship between us and this essential energy force for life.
The functions of one's body and mind are manifestations of "Chi". One's health can be assessed by a sufficient, balance, and uninterrupted flow of "Chi", "Chi" can be conceptually visualized as the flow of blood and other bodily fluids circulating to sustain the body, transporting key nutrients acorss our internal organs, regulating our body so that we can fight off negative forces from the external environment. How does this process begin, why does this process vary from individuals to individuals. TCM explains these fundamental question of life through the concept of "Chi".
How does one's body interact with "Chi"? Invisible to the eye, your body forms channels, also called, meridians, that acts as a circuit of pathways for Chi to flow throughout the body in a way that can manifest life. These meridian exist both along the surface of the body and internally through the various internal organ system. Across the meridians, there are series of "Acu-points" where a skilled acupuncturist can used to strengthen Chi flow, reguate and reduce Chi blockage and redirect Chi to other pathways.
Good health typically is represented by strong and smooth Chi flowing through the meridians and organs., fine tuned to co-exist harmoniously with the external environment. Dr. Wen's treatment approach function as the conductor of this delicate symphony of harmony and balance, to fine-tune and calibrate your Chi flow for optimal health.
