LIVE LONG, LIVE HEALTHY

2021 Year of the Metal OX

Although Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for as long as Western Medicine, it was not commonly practiced in the United States and little was known of its many wonderful benefits.  Of course, it was brought to this country with the immigration of the Chinese during the California Gold Rush of 1849, and the subsequent building of the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s, but it was practiced by the Chinese for the Chinese. 

In 1970, President Nixon traveled to China and during that trip James Reston, a journalist traveling with the President, had to undergo emergency surgery for appendicitis and was given Acupuncture anesthesia which reduced the need for general anesthesia.  This started the introduction of Acupuncture and TCM into the United States. 

The class will include introduction to procedures like acupuntcture, feng shui, and massage; the eight-parameter system in TCM; and the five elements of TCM.
