Have you wondered why some people are more prone to falling sick than others? Or why do some people just never seem to have enough energy? These people may be experiencing sub-health issues, conditions that have not developed into diseases yet, and manifest as a nagging pain at the neck, shoulder or back area due to prolonged hours in front of the computer, or stress-related ailments like chronic fatigue, headaches or poor quality of sleep.
Factors, both external (such as the weather) and internal (emotions, diet and body constitution), can tip the scale of a healthy balance of your body, resulting in sub-health issues when this equilibrium is disturbed. How strong or weak your body constitution determines how susceptible you are to falling sick and how to treat the ailment.
For over 140 years, Eu Yan Sang has been empowering people to live the best quality of life through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) wisdom. Today, Eu Yan Sang has become a trusted name for generations of customers, recognised for its high quality and standards, as it works on a holistic approach to total health and well-being. In Asia, Eu Yan Sang is recognised as a leader in TCM health and wellness, providing healthcare innovations that combine the science of medicine with the wisdom of TCM, guided by its mission of “caring for mankind”.
Here’s how TCM can help you maintain your body at its peak:
TCM is based on finding the body’s balance of qi (energy life force)
The holistic TCM philosophy emphasises a natural, preventive approach, involving a broad range of treatments such as herbal medicines, acupuncture (recognised by the World Health Organisation as an effective treatment for various conditions and types of pain), Tui Na (therapeutic massage), scraping (Gua Sha), bone setting and chiropractic techniques. While TCM is not a substitute for conventional medicine, combining TCM with conventional medicine can give your health an added boost.
Know your body constitution
There are 10 different types of body constitutions possible and getting to know your body constitution is the first important step in the TCM health and wellness program. A personal session with the registered TCM physician at any Eu Yan Sang TCM Wellness Clinic helps determine your current dominant body constitution, and provide lifestyle changing tips and simple nutritional recipes for optimal wellness for your particular body constitution.
Pain management
Personalised pain management in TCM is done via a combination of acupuncture, Tui Na and herbal medication to treat both the symptoms and root cause of the problem, leaving a lasting effect with minimal side-effects. Acupuncture clears blockage within the meridians and strengthens the flow of yi and blood, restoring the healthy balance of Yin & Yang to alleviate pain. Likewise, Tui Na massages aids the recovery of adhesions, dispersing blood stasis and swelling, and corrects dislocations by stimulating blood circulation and repair of damaged tissue to relieve pain.
