INNERchi - Nadia Gazzi Chinese Medicine Practitioner
Chinese Medicine is an ancient form of health care and healing that pre-dates recorded history. Its philosophy is rooted in Taoist tradition that goes back over 8,000 years. Back in this time, the people would meditate and observe energy flow within and without, as well as being keen observers of man’s relation with nature and the universe.
Chinese Medicine is also based on the yin/yang theory, which is about balance and energy flow. Chinese Medicine is a holistic form of health care that incorporates the whole body and not solely just the disease or site of the pain.
Chinese Medicine covers a broad range of treatment modalities. Some of these include Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping and tui na.
About the practitioner
Nadia Gazzi grew up in Coburg. She is first generation Australian, born to Italian parents.
After working in hospitality for many, many years, Nadia wanted to do something more valuable for the community and society.
Nadia became interested in acupuncture and Chinese medicine after receiving an acupuncture treatment and she felt fabulous afterwards.
After her father was diagnosed with lung cancer, Nadia watched his health slowly disintegrate, at the hands of Western Medicine. The doctors were not treating his symptoms, but masking the pain. She became disillusioned with the treatment of patients and did not want others to have to suffer in this way.
Nadia received her Bachelor of Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture and Herbs) from Victoria University, where she studied Chinese herbs, acupuncture, tui na and cupping. Nadia is qualified and knowledgeable in all these modalities.
Chinese herbs and how they work
Chinese herbal medicine works on the internal body including the organ system. Herbs are chosen for their intrinsic characteristics to treat diseases, regulate yin and yang and help the body to re-establish its normal physiological functions by eliminating disorders and restoring health.
Chinese herbs are characterised by their nature and their taste. Each herb possesses these two characteristics of nature and at least one flavour. The nature and flavour of the herb is closely related to the function of the herb. The five natures of an herb are cold, cool, hot, warm and neutral. The seven tastes of an herb are acrid, salty, sour, sweet, bitter, bland and astringent.
The herbal formulas prescribed are specifically made for the individual and are delivered directly to your door, ready to take. All the mess and fuss is taken away, as if the herbs are not prepared correctly they can be ruined.
Acupuncture, what is involved
Acupuncture involves fine, disposable needles which are inserted into specific points on the body to redirect or unblock energy (qi). Acupuncture is painless. The effects of an acupuncture treatment can be felt immediately, whereas Chinese herbal medicine takes a little longer before the effects can be noticed. Acupuncture and herbs work best when used together, but, can be used individually.
What is tui na?
Tui na or Chinese therapeutic massage prevents and treats disease manually using palpation, pressing or patting on the affected body parts and is effective in the relief of pain and alleviation of symptoms. Literally tui na means push hold.
Tui na keeps the balance between yin and yang, regulates qi and blood, it dredges the channels and collaterals, regulates the organs and their functions, restores and treats injured soft tissue or reduce displacement and lubricates joints.
Why would I want cupping?
Cupping uses glass cups which are placed on specific parts or areas of the body to help with the treatment of ailments and pain. The placement of the cups is dependant on the affliction.
Cups are useful in bringing toxins up to the surface and then gentle massage is used to disperse the toxins, making it easier for the body to expel them.
Cups are also useful in relieving sore and tight muscles, as they produce a stronger effect than massage.
Cups can be left on the body in stationary positions or the cups can be slidden
over the body to produce a strong massaging affect.
When a patient is cupped, they may bruise or have slight marks where the cups were placed.
