Classical Chinese Medicine (“CCM”), distinct from the more commonly practiced “TCM” (Traditional Chinese Medicine), is a sophisticated and comprehensive medical system infused with a rich history and the wisdom of thousands of years.

CCM is rooted in the classical medical texts the Nei Jing and the Nan Jing which date back to the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220CE). It also draws its theories of disease progression and treatment from prominent scholars and medical practitioners of the Tang (618-906AD), Song (960-1279AD) and Yuan (1279-1368AD) Dynasties.

CCM contains a wealth of information, supported by thousands of years of empirical findings that make it an extremely potent and life-changing form of medicine.

While “TCM” was abridged into a series of general patterns using mainly one channel system, the 12 Primary Channels, to treat disease (this occurred during the mid-20th century cultural revolution of China), the knowledge base of Classical Acupuncture remains intact—with the use of 6 different Channel Systems and a total of over 60 channels.

A sophisticated and dynamic pulse analysis unique to Classical acupuncturists, and a deep understanding of the application of the 6 different Channel systems, enables a Classical acupuncturist to diagnose and treat the complexities of a wide range of conditions. Treatments are tailored to the individual with consideration of all aspects of the patient— physical, emotional, constitutional, and spiritual. Special attention is also paid to the patient’s diet and other lifestyle factors.

Classical Chinese Medicine is a dynamic and interactive form of medicine, in which the patient is invited to be an active participant in his or her own healing process. This facilitates profound shifts in all aspects of health.
