Acupuncture is one aspect of what the Chinese call “Zhen-Jiu”, which roughly translates as “Needle (Zhen) – Burn (Jiu)”. This refers to just two of the forms of treatment which form the whole of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture refers to the practice of inserting fine metal needles into specific locations on the body in order to stimulate the body’s own natural healing processes. Chinese medicine in its entirety encompasses not only acupuncture and moxibustion but also herbal and dietary therapies, Tuina (a form of soft tissue and joint manipulation), and the Chinese exercise arts including Taijiquan, (pronounced tie-jee-chwan) as well as Qigong [ch’i kung], and Wu Shu (martial arts, sometimes called kung-fu).Originating in China in 2300 B.C, Tui Na is the oldest known system of massage. It is recorded in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine as one of the five major therapies of the time and has remained an organized and systematically developed system of massage since that time. In China Tui Na is currently taught as a separate, but equal field of study in the major traditional Chinese medical colleges. Tui Na doctors receive the same demanding training as acupuncturists and herbalists and enjoy the same level of professional respect.
School provides students the opportunity to learn about the biomedical sciences and emerging acupuncture research through the rich lens of energetic medicine. Students simultaneously take diverse courses in Western sciences (e.g., anatomy/physiology, palpatory anatomy, and pathophysiology) and Chinese medicine, including energetics, diagnosis, treatment strategies, and Taijiquan. Students leave our program well-grounded in classical Chinese medicine and prepared with the skills necessary to offer high-quality care in an increasingly integrated health-care system.
Chinese Medicine (also called Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM, or Chinese herbal medicine) is a rich, complex system that identifies the pattern of disharmony in each patient and then builds a unique, individualized treatment plan. In addition to acupuncture techniques, Chinese Medicine practitioners use Chinese herbs, hundreds of substances and thousands of formulas to address health concerns.
Our Bachelor of Chinese Medicine students gain proficiency in this system of Chinese herbal medicine, in addition to learning acupuncture techniques.
