Chinese Medicine is a system of primary health care that works holistically to maintain or restore balance, harmony and order in our bodies. Chinese Medicine philosophy is based on the yin/yang principle of balancing and harmonising conditions within the body. This degree covers all the key areas of Chinese Medicine including acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Students discover the balancing act of Yin and Yang and how the disharmony of energy (Qi or Chi) can result in disease and poor health. Major study areas include: Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, ancillary techniques, cupping, Chinese massage (Tui Na), dietary, exercise and lifestyle advice. Students will also learn about the triggers to poor health such as environment, pathogens, dietary irregularities and stress related emotional problems and see how these influences may lead to ill health.
