Introducing Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an old medicine that has been around for centuries. It has proven its capability by maintaining the health and wellness of Chinese population throughout history. Even until today when biomedicine has become the predominant medicine worldwide, people around the globe are still benefiting from TCM knowledge. Even though TCM may be rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy and culture, it is still adapting, expending and integrating into modern lives. The practice of TCM traditionally has been known being user friendly, accessible, affordable and environmentally friendly. OBEN ONE aims to preserve and continue these traditions.

How Can TCM Help?

Every person who is born to this world will need to adopt to this universe from the moment of conception. A fundamental TCM view of health is having an intact system of RIGHTEOUS PHYSIOLOGICAL FORCE (aka THE RIGHTEOUS QI 正氣). The Righteous Qi system is responsible for body's growth, all physiological functions and defense mechanism. Righteous Qi particles generate life force, cognitive functions, and protect human body from the NON-RIGHTEOUS PATHOLOGICAL FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE (aka THE EVIL QI / PATHOGENIC QI 邪氣). All factors that can challenge the integrity of body's righteous Qi system is perceived as pathogenic in TCM theory. This can be weather change, unclean foods and water, stress, trauma, microorganisms, etc.... The ultimate goal of a TCM treatment is to create harmony between man and this universe 天人合一 and harmony within human body. This is achieved by protecting people's righteous Qi and fighting off or avoiding any pathogenic Qi 扶正祛邪.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine are popular tools for TCM practitioners to help correct any imbalance that a patient may be experiencing. There are also other methodologies, such as Qi Gong practice, moxibustion, Gua Sha, Cupping, Tui Na, Ariculotherapy... Different patient, different situation warrants different treatment approaches.
