Most of us have become familiar, to some degree, with the concept of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
It is a holistic approach to wellness that combines trusted Chinese resources with some scientific methodology to arrive at a relatively standardized doctrine.
Classical Chinese medicine (CCM), on the other hand, takes a much less institutionalized approach, remaining true to its ancient roots. The primary distinction of CCM lies within the extent to which practitioners will go to understand and address the why, when and how therapeutic modality should be applied.
CCM does not concentrate solely on the static form, but rather focuses on the dynamic, fluid and fundamental processes of life that naturally facilitates healing. Where TCM tends to fall back on hardened knowledge and an emphasis on abstract diagnosis, CCM delves much deeper into the very roots of ancient natural medicine to achieve a more flexible, fluid way of thinking.
At Anatara Medicine, we have such a practitioner, Michael Givens, lac, CCM: https://anataramedicine.com/our-team/.
Classical Chinese medicine requires that practitioners accurately perceive and fully support the living processes of the human body. It is within these living processes where true healing medicine can be found. Diagnoses are reached with the objective of maintaining that fluidity and treatment modalities must therefore support this objective and the individual needs of each patient.
As such, CCM methodology advocates for the use of natural substances that utilize the wholeness of nature. Substances are not isolated as with a solid form approach, but rather only specific key aspects of certain herbal substances that align with the targeted living processes being sought after are strategically applied.
For these and many other reasons, classical Chinese medicine is still highly effective even in today’s modern society. It essentially delivers a fresher, more life-infused approach to our contemporary thought process and remains widely regarded for its diagnostic capabilities. Here at Anatara, since all of our practitioners work together, combining Western, European and Eastern medicine – we encourage our patients, especially, our Cancer and Lyme patients or those seeking to detoxify – to take advantage of this type of therapy offered here.
To improve efficacy of the treatment process, only the purest, time-tested and naturally grown substances should be utilized. Furthermore, true masters of the art of CCM seek to continuously learn, grow and refine their perceptivity with each patient they treat.
Classical Chinese medicine exemplifies one of the world’s purest and interminable streams of ancient wisdom, traditional knowledge and time-honored values. With roots that span centuries, this sophisticated methodology which embraces the very essence of the living being remains a viable and proven alternative to the present health and wellness needs of our time.
