Stress and its' solution in Chinese Medicine 

We all know that the killer of our time - heart attacks, rank amongst the top of modern illnesses, together with side effects from drugs and complications resulting from surgery.


It is ironic that modem medicine with its wonderful drugs and scientific advancement, creates as many health problems for the human being as it solves. Stress is one of the major concerns of our time, and this is only seems to get worse as time advances.


In the ancient art of Chinese medicine there may lie an answer to this mother-of-all illnesses. A person that is subjected to continuous stress may find themselves heading towards serious mental and physical illnesses such as: depression, insomnia, digestive disorders, ulcers, muscular pain, impotence and menstrual dysfunction as well as many other stress related diseases.


It is in the area of the immune system and emotional relief that Chinese medicine can help to address the problem. The main concern of well being in Chinese medicine is the interrelated balance within the bodies of its mental, emotional and physical components. In scientific terms, the healthy body regulates its metabolism and hormonal systems by the balancing acts of releasing the correct amount of cortisal adrenaline and neurotransmitters such as endorphins. Excessive stimuli caused by a traumatic event or problem can lead to confusion and chaos within the body. Less that 20% of people can effectively cope with crises. Stress increases the heart rate as much as heavy physical exercise. Acupuncture or non-needle acutherapy can redress the bodys’ balances because of its two-way regulation effects on the body's metabolism and hormonal systems. It is proven now that acupuncture releases endorphins and other neurotransmitters.


Chinese herbal medicine addresses the balance of the bodys’ internal organs and physiological functions. The liver is the organ relating to emotion in Chinese medicine. If the liver meridian is blocked, Chinese herbs are used to sooth the liver and to tonify the kidney to mobilise Qi (the body's energetic force or elements) to clear the blockage that can lead to serious diseases. Great physicians perfected

Chinese herbal formulae through thousands of years of clinical analysis. Stress leads to many chronic syndromes, or chronic illnesses classified by Chinese medicine. The kidney is responsible for the energetic function and the spleen is the housekeeper of the bodys’ immune system, taking its nutrients from the stomach. Low resistance to infection caused by stress can be addressed by regulating the spleen and kidney. Emotional and mental disorders can be regulated through the liver and heart meridians. All of these considerations form a holistic approach to the treatment of stress.


Treatment programmes have been devised at the AcuMedic Stress Clinic to suit different syndromes using combinations of specially formulated Chinese natural herbs, acupuncture and non-needle acutherapy. The AcuMedic programmes include; diet therapy, tea therapy, Chinese exercises and oriental aromatherapy massage.


The preventative approach to health is the key to stress management; regulative treatment is therefore essential to prevent the onset of dreadful stress related diseases.


AcuMedic have a unique approach to stress management, blending several therapies including our programs for Antismoking, Anti-stress, Bodyclinic, Detox, Massage and Reflexology, not to mention our range of Books on the subject and our Product range.
