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 and has
taught acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to hundreds of
British students and European medical doctors.
