Philosophy and Comments
Learning Chinese Medicine involves thinking about health and disease in ways that are unfamiliar to our common medical understanding. Unlike conventional Western medical practice which typically treats symptoms without addressing underlying causes. Chinese Medicine uses sophisticated assessment techniques to understand the deeper levels of systemic imbalance that create the symptoms. The goal of treatment is to bring the entire organism back into harmony.
The proven effectiveness of the ICH educational approach is the result of the founders' extensive backgrounds in Chinese Medicine, their ability to impart their knowledge using Western teaching styles, and their familiarity with the patterns of health and disease common in our society.
