What is Chinese Medicine?

Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat and prevent illnesses for over 5000 years. It includes not only Acupuncture but also Chinese herbology, bodywork, dietary therapy and exercise, and is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles. At Mandala, our Chinese Medicine practitioners offer all of these therapies at our clinic in Boulder.

Chinese Medicine predates western medicine by thousands of years, and as a system stands on its own as a primary health care modality. It is founded in ancient Daoist philosophies that describe universal patterns of movement and balance. It approaches health holistically and views the mind, body and spirit as interrelated spheres of influence, each affecting the others.

At the Mandala Clinic in Boulder, our Chinese Medicine practitioners utilize Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs and Bodywork to strengthen the client's physical and emotional bodies. The intention is to control pain, prevent disease, alleviate chronic conditions, and enhance the quality and longevity of life. Our Chinese Medicine practitioners do not focus on treating a diagnosed disease alone. Instead, the practitioner focuses on discerning underlying patterns and conditions which harbor and perpetuate imbalances that manifest as disease and illness.

Acupuncture, Chinese herbology, bodywork, and the dietary and exercise therapies of Chinese Medicine influence energetic pathways, or "meridians," that bring the whole being into equilibrium. Current trends in health care show that by integrating these Chinese Medicine practices with western (allopathic) medicine, patients are able to enhance and deepen the effectiveness of their efforts to live healthier, more balanced and energetic lives.
