Graceful Medicine: Benefits

Who Can Benefit?

Anyone can benefit. Treatments are gentle and supportive, and can be used to put something right or just help you manage your way through a difficult period of your life. The body has its own repair 'intuition' and treatment restores this faculty when it has become ignored or run down. How?

We are all connected to a resonating matrix of infinite energy; the cells of our body are part of this awesome energy field, and within it have their own 'style' of resonance - or field - that enables them to operate as a system recognised as the brain, the blood, the liver, and so on. Over time subtle changes in these fields within the body can result in stress, discomfort and disease.

Ancient Oriental healers intuited these fields and mapped out the energy fields or 'Qi' ("chee") pathways of the body. This gave rise to a holistic form of diagnosis and treatment that is run today alongside modern Western treatment techniques in hospitals throughout China and the East.

This holistic approach to diagnosing someone's discomfort is the key to Oriental medicine. It enables treatment of the whole person and therefore most people find benefits above and beyond their reason for seeking treatment.
