Traditional Chinese Medicine includes acupuncture, exercise,
massage, diet and herbal medicine. Dr. Jiang uses traditional Chinese
herbal formulas to treat each individual patient, based on her analysis
of the patient's symptoms, age, habits, body type, physical and emotion
traits, and so on. She attempts to put together an overall image of the
patient to find the cause of the problem.
In Chinese medicine, this is referred to as "differentiation". Her
formulas are used as teas or in capsule form, and they are often
prescribed to provide a stabilizing link between acupuncture visits.
Moxibustion, the stimulation of energy by the use of burning herbs, is
also used. Like acupuncture, they effect changes in the energy balance
of the body to restore health. Both acupuncture and traditional herbal
formulas are powerful forms of Chinese medicine.
