| The Practice
Chinese medicine may be the answer to
your problem
Modern Chinese medicine is the result of the
clinical experience and time-tested theories of traditional Chinese
physicians throughout more than twenty-five centuries of continuous
practice. Today, it is the world’s oldest, safest and most
comprehensive system of medical care. Billions of Chinese, over
thousands of years, can’t be wrong.
Chinese medicine is not a last
resort.
It has been the first choice for countless millions
of people over several thousand years, and is every bit as relevant
to your health and quality of life today. In its country of origin,
Chinese medicine is not seen as an alternative form of therapy,
but is used in the state hospitals alongside modern medicine.
The Chinese have a phrase for
it:treating the whole person
Western medicine and Chinese medicine approach
illness in fundamentally different ways. Western medicine looks
for an external cause or agent of a specific disease, which it isolates,
then controls or destroys with drugs or surgery. Chinese medicine
takes into account not only the symptoms but also the age, habits,
diet, lifestyle, physical and emotional traits and all other aspects
of the individual. It then attempts to put together an overall picture
of the patient in order to evaluate any patterns of disharmony that
have arisen.
Health is a state of total harmony between the physical, emotional
and spiritual aspects of the individual. Illness, on the other hand,
is a disharmony that manifests itself as certain symptoms. On their
own, the symptoms are often unimportant, being merely a part of
the syndromes of harmony or disharmony that make up the whole person.
Chinese medicine is reliable and
comprehensive - consultation and diagnosis
When you feel unwell enough to seek medical
advice, what would you really like to happen? Firstly, you want
to be sure that the practitioner has the time to get to grips properly
with whatever is troubling you. Secondly, you need to be convinced
that the diagnosis is based on your particular conditions. With
Chinese medicine, a detailed understanding is needed of your symptoms,
medical and family history, lifestyle and diet, and your work and
emotional states, as well as an examination of your pulse and tongue.
Bespoke treatment
You need to have trust that the treatment prescribed
is tailor-made to your requirements. Individuality is what Chinese
medicine is all about. The course of treatment you receive will
be specific to your particular condition and help you to take care
and control of your own health.
Total confidence - your doctor
Chinese Medicine practitioners in the UK have
differing levels of training, but with our Chinese Medicine Practice
you are in safe hands. Dr Wan studied both Chinese and western medicine
for eight years at Shanghai University (1980-88). After being awarded
bachelor’s and master’s degrees in medicine, he gained
considerable experience in clinical practice in a university hospital,
as well as teaching in the university for five years (1988-93).
He has published six research papers and four books in the subject.
Dr Wan was invited to come to England in 1993 as a fully qualified
practitioner and vastly experienced acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist
and lecturer in Chinese medicine. He has built up a very busy practice
