With 5,000 years of history Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the oldest health disciplines in the world. In western cultures, Acupuncture and TCM has surged in popularity over the past decade, creating excellent opportunities for graduates of this unique diploma program. As a complete Health Care system, TCM includes not only acupuncture, but Chinese herbology, diet therapy, tuina and specific exercises such as qigong and tai chi. Acupuncturists view diseases and health disorders as an imbalance in the body's energy, which flows along well-defined pathways called meridians. By inserting very thin acupuncture needles at specific points along these meridians, a well-trained acupuncturist can normalize the flow of energy and prevent or treat illness by initiating the body's own healing mechanisms. Modern scientific study has confirmed that Acupuncture induces biochemical changes in the body that have beneficial effects and can reduce recovery times by up to 50% compared to conventional western approaches.
