Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the great herbal systems of the world, with an unbroken tradition going back to the 3rd century BC.

Yet throughout its history it has continually developed in response to changing clinical conditions, and has been sustained by research into every aspect of its use. This process continues today with the development of modern medical diagnostic techniques and knowledge.

Today, it still forms a major part of healthcare provision in China, and is provided in state hospitals alongside western medicine.

They are two essential components in Chinese medicine - Acupuncture (usually performed with needles) and Chinese herbal therapy. Chinese medicine is based on the theory of Yin and Yang balance. It considers that the disease is caused as a result of Yin and Yang imbalance within the body.

Chinese herbal therapy is for re-balancing the Yin and Yang when  disease occurs. Whereas the role of acupuncture is to regulate the meridians or channels of the body and unblock the stagnation of Qi (energy), to achieve the body energy balance.

Traditional Chinese medicine in it's application is more like art than scientific technology – herbal medicine and acupuncture to the TCM doctor is very much like pen and paint to the artist. The tools are the same, but the final works are very different and of varying value.

Chinese medicine is not standardised like Western medicine. TCM practitioner training at medical school is mainly academic and principle-based; clinical treatment depends upon the individual doctor’s understanding, skills and experience. TCM is highly flexible and it's effectiveness is dependent upon the individual doctor’s own design.

Diagnosis

The diagnostic process of TCM involves the following:

Observation

TCM practitioners  are trained in the observation of external signs of any imbalance of the internal body. To this end, the patient's tongue, complexion, eyes, hair and nails are examined.

Listening and Smelling

Information is accrued from the conditions of the voice and breathing  as well as from the odours of the body.

Questioning

Where information is gathered regarding current discomfort, medical history and lifestyle past and present.

Palpation

Palpating, feeling and pressing in specific areas of the body are also ways to determine the condition of a patient. Pulse diagnostics and temperature play a very important role in TCM,  giving  information on the state of individual organs and the balance of the body as a whole.

Individuality

Each patient will be treated according to their individual needs in terms of how TCM is applied.

I found acupuncture very relaxing and helpful for my condition. I thoroughly recommend Artemis and in particular Dr Shen for anybody who thinks Traditional Chinese medicine might help them." - Al

"I'm so glad I found the place. It's so close to home and will definitely book again. Very clean, friendly and professional. The massage was firmer than expected. But I realised that was actually exactly what I needed so didn’t ask for less pressure. I feel so unknotted and light. Thanks guys."  - Peggy Shimmin

"Went to Artemis with sciatic pain and a pinching nerve in the neck/shoulder. Had acupuncture after a Chinese massage and two days later the pain was vastly relieved. Been back since and Jackie gave an outstanding massage - firm and definitely made a difference! Would highly recommend." - Michael Mann

"I’ve been going to Artemis for a little over 6 months and wouldn’t go anywhere else now. The pricing is fair & the service impeccable. Jenny is brilliant, great customer service & her waxing is 10/10. Would recommend to anyone :)" - Charlotte

"My first experience of Hollywood Waxing. She was very polite took her time with me and also offered me water to calm my nerves. Was extremely friendly, and it was much better than I thought it would be!"  - Kiyanna

"I got a last minute appointment at Artemis. Appointment and payment made online with no issues. Upon arrival, I couldn’t help but notice how exceptionally clean the salon was - clear and uncluttered. I was taken downstairs to one of the treatment rooms and introduced to Jing. She was firm but not painful and I felt a little sore later that evening but by the following day all aches and pains had disappeared. I’m going to make this my regular salon. Highly recommended."  - Sharon
