Well-Being & Health Maintenance The techniques of Chinese medicine can be used not only to treat illness, but to maintain health and wellbeing. Regular treatment with acupuncture or tui na massage helps to keep energy levels up, regulates the flow of Qi in the body, and boosts immunity. This approach was always followed in ancient China, where doctors would travel from village to village, seeing every villager and treating them or giving advice as required. In return the doctor would receive a small payment from each person he saw. If a villager got sick, then he stopped paying. So in this way, the doctor's job was to maintain health and prevent diease, not to cure it! There are a number of different ways to use Chinese Medicine for well-being and health maintenance: Regular treatments - Having a treatment every month or 6 weeks is a great way to maintain health and vitality. Regular acupuncture and/or tui na massage keeps you relaxed and healthy, and helps to reduce stress, improve sleep and resist illness. Seasonal treatments - Many people find that they struggle or fall ill at the changes in the seasons. These can be good times for a boosting treatment to keep energy levels up and prevent illness. Special Treatments - Specific treatments can be used to strongly boost the bodys energy (Qi). This is part of the art of 'nourishing life', which is used to delay ageing, and improve overall health and functioning. This can be useful for anyone over the age of 30. A few treatments are normally given close together, and repeated once per year. The strengthening qualities of moxibustion are often used for this purpose.
