PHILOSOPHY

The underlying concepts of alternative medicine are far older than those of conventional, allopathic medicine and                    have in fact infused various healing traditions around the world since the dawn of recorded history.

As early as 5000 BCE, for example, physician-sages formulating the healing traditions of both traditional Chinese medicine   and Ayurvedic medicine recognised that human beings were comprised of body, mind and spirit and that health represented a harmonious balance within all three of these aspects of existence as well as the free flow of invisible vital energy.

It is important to recognize that we, practitioners of alternative medicine, are not opposed to conventional medical practices and do not hesitate to employ them when dealing with patients faced with acute, life threatening illnesses or injuries.

Both systems of medicine have much to offer and the wisest form of health care is one which makes use of each of them         in an integrated manner that most fully meets patient needs.
