How can Chinese Traditional Medicine (TCM) help you?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which has a history of nearly 3000 years is fundamentally different from that of Western medicine. In the TCM theory, the understanding of the human body is based on the holistic understanding of the universe as described in Daoism, and the treatment of illness is based primarily on the diagnosis and differentiation of syndromes.
Zang--Fu organs are treated as the core of the human body in the TCM. Zang and fu consist of the five zang and six fu organs. The five zang organs are the heart (including the pericardium), lung, spleen, liver, and kidney. The six fu organs are the gall bladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, urinary bladder and the sanjiao (three areas of the body cavity). Tissue and organs are connected through a network of channels and blood vessels inside human body and Qi (or Chi) carry body information through jingluo system. The problem of Zang-fu organs may be reflected on the body surface as a series of symptoms, and meanwhile the disorders of body surface tissues may also affect their related Zang or Fu organs. Affected Zang or Fu organs may also influence each other through internal connections. TCM practitioner then treats the health problems through the analysis of the entire system, and then focuses on the correction of pathological changes through readjusting the functions of the Zang-Fu organs.
The clinical diagnosis and treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine are mainly based on the yin-yang and five elements theories. The phenomena and laws of the physiological activities and pathological changes of the human body and its interrelationships are studied in these theories. Herbal medicine and Acupuncture are two major typical TCM therapies.
Herbal medicine is a major pillar of Chinese medicine. There are about 600 different herbs in common use today. However over 6,000 different medicinal substances in terms of their properties and the disharmonies are listed by the Chinese pharmacopoeia. Unlike other forms of herbal medicine, especially western herbal medicine in which herbs are often delivered singly or combined into very small formulas of herbs with the same function, Chinese herbalists usually create formulas based on TCM theories and principles, usually it contains at least four to twenty herbs.
Pre-made formulas are available as pills, tablets, capsules, powders, alcohol-extracts, water-extracts, etc. However, the concentration of the herbs in these products is low and don't allow the practitioner to adjust the contents or dosages which is very important during the treatment process of patients. TCM practitioners mainly using Decoction as a method to prepare herbal medicine like a concentrated form of tea, which allows the practitioner to adjust the formulas individually. The modern way of delivering herbs is through granulated herbs, which are highly concentrated powdered extracts. These powders are made by first preparing the herbs as a traditional decoction. The decoction is then dehydrated to leave a powder residue. Practitioners can then mix these powders together for each patient into a custom formula. The powder is then placed in hot water to recreate the decoction. This eliminates the need to prepare the herbs at home, but still retains much of the original decoction's potency.
The practice of acupuncture is based on the theory of meridians. According to this theory, qi (vital energy) and blood circulate in the body through a system of channels called meridians, connecting internal organs with external organs or tissues. By stimulating certain points of the body surface reached by meridians through needling the flow of qi and blood can be regulated and diseases are thus treated. These stimulation points are called acupuncture points, or acupoints.
In summary, acupuncture treatment is accomplished by stimulating certain areas of the external body meanwhile herbal medicine acts on zang-fu organs internally. The professional TCM practitioners usually combine these two typical methods to treat your health problems. The accurate Chinese medical diagnosis will ensure the effectiveness of herb and acupuncture treatment. The knowledge, skills and techniques of the practitioner will also influence greatly the effectiveness of the outcome. The remarkably effective evidence of herb and acupuncture on many health conditions has been documented.
Use of Chinese herbs and acupuncture on treatment of infertility
Infertility refers to the inability of a couple to achieve conception after a year of unprotected intercourse, or the inability to carry pregnancies to a live birth. One in six Australian couples currently suffers infertility. Approximately one-third of infertility cases can be attributed to male factors, and about one-third to factors related to the female partner.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history of treatment of infertility and miscarriage. Records indicated that the first herbal use date was back to 200 A.D and the famous ancient medical text Shang Han Lun mentioned some formulas that are still used for those purposes today. The traditional Chinese views are that infertility tends to arise from one or more of three prominent causes: a "deficiency" syndrome prevents the hormonal system from properly influencing the sexual and reproductive functions; a "stagnancy" syndrome prevents the sexual and reproductive organs from functioning despite normal hormone levels and normal ability to respond to hormones, and a "heat" syndrome, which causes the affected organs to function abnormally.
Western medicine can diagnose tubal blockage (which usually corresponds to blood stagnancy in Chinese medicine) and infection (which corresponds to heat syndromes of Chinese medicine) and in many cases can successfully treat these causes of infertility. However it often fails to diagnose deficiency syndromes and most of the stagnancy syndromes. TCM treatment for infertility focuses on devising herb and acupuncture formulas for the specific pattern of disharmony, differentiated by signs and symptoms. Some laboratory experiments have demonstrated the hormonal effects of Chinese herbs used to treat impotence and infertility and to prevent miscarriage.
With respects of in vitro fertilization (IVF), acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine may significantly benefit the outcome of this procedure. An experiment in the US indicated that using Chinese medicine as an adjunct to IVF increases the success rate of in vitro fertilization by as much as 50%. IVF patients are given herbs and acupuncture at several critical stages during the procedure. At the first stage, when birth controls pills are administered to regulate hormonal activity, herbs and acupuncture are used to insure smooth flow to the ovaries. Next, when drugs are given to stimulate egg production, Chinese herbs and acupuncture are used to ease the stimulating side-effects of the drugs. Similar herbs are also used before implantation to relax the muscles, prevent contraction, and better enable the embryo to implant upon the uterus.
Prior to seeking for TCM, all couples that fail to conceive should undergo a complete medical examination by a physician to determine the cause of the infertility. If the cause is a congenital or structural abnormality, TCM usually does not prove effective. In general, if pregnancy is not achieved within about eight to nine months after treatment using TCM, then it is unlikely that the treatment will be successful with continued attempts. It must be remembered that approximately one-third of infertility cases may fail to respond to all reasonable attempts. However one advantage of the Chinese herbal approach is that even if pregnancy does not occur, benefits to health can be attained because the herbs address imbalances that affect other aspects of health besides infertility.
