Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Clinic in Vancouver
[Holistic Healing] Natural Herbal Remedy
UTCM offers traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as part of its therapeutic program to promote overall health and wellness and to treat illness and disease. Traditional Chinese medicine uses herbs and dietary changes to combat bodily ailments and improve overall health. It has been proven to be highly effective over thousands of years of use.
What is Traditional
Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese medicine traces its roots to thousands of years ago when herbal medications were put into use to successfully treat a wide variety of medical conditions. A practice that focuses on holistic solutions to illness, disease, and health concerns, traditional Chinese medicine can be employed alongside other treatments, whether natural or conventional, to achieve the best results.
Chinese herbal medicines can be used on their own to treat health problems and are also highly effective when combined with acupuncture and bodyworks to help provide relief from health issues and bring unity and balance to the body, spirit, and soul.

TCM Work?

How Does
TCM Work?
1. Environment
The body is highly sensitive to outside stimuli. It reacts to every day things such as the changing of the seasons, the climate, and both emotional and spiritual energies. Each organ of the body provides a unique response to address its surrounding, allowing it to both adapt and function within its environment.
2. Proper Nutrition
Nutrition factors into this equation with the body’s needs being dependent upon both season and weather conditions. TCM helps identify the combination of herbs and eating habits to help promote better nourishment, rest, and relaxation for optimal health and wellness.
3. Balance
Traditional Chinese medicine rests on the defining principle of the yin and the yang. The yin and the yang is a reminder that all aspects of the body must be neatly knit together in the perfect balance to achieve and maintain good health. To find the unity the body needs, traditional Chinese medicine focuses on pinpointing the sensitivities that require fine tuning.
4. External Factors
The body is a sensitive organism. It takes on board external factors such as stress, anxiety, anger, fear, trauma, emotional pain, and sadness. Additionally, it is also impacted by physical things like diet, climate, hereditary health problems, infection, toxic substances, and injury. Traditional Chinese medicine calls for self-evaluation of the patient’s environment to determine what stimuli is shifting the body out of balance and creating poor health.
5. Working With Qi and Meridians
TCM and acupuncture can help redirect Qi (energy) to the appropriate meridians to increase the correct energy flow and promote harmony in the body. These tools form a critical component in the path to healing.
6. Self-Healing
The body possesses innate ability that enables it to heal itself. Unfortunately, this natural ability becomes obscured by such factors as the environment, poor nutrition, stress, and lack of sleep. Herbal medications and acupuncture help to reset the body, restoring harmony and encouraging optimal functionality.
First visit Your First Visit
At your first visit to UTCM, we will take the opportunity to listen to your concerns and health goals. After performing a holistic assessment, we will assess the causes of your health concerns and recommend a treatment plan tailored for your situation.
1. Health Questionnaire
The first visit to UTCM will involve a detailed questionnaire to help the practitioner to best understand any underlying health problems, the patient’s past medical history, and their current lifestyle. This step of the process is critical to developing a plan to treat the conditions from which the patient is seeking relief.
2. Pre-Treatment Testing
Following taking a thorough patient history, some people will require further pre-treatment testing from the UTCM clinic or a physician that specializes in traditional medicine. These tests help to determine the severity of any health conditions as well as a patient’s suitability for treatment.
3. Physical Examination
A physical examination is sometimes required. This most typically includes assessment of vital signs, basic kinesiology of the body, the palpation of areas requiring specific treatment, and examination of the condition of the tongue. The patient’s resting pulse rate will also be measured.
