Our Philosophy:

                           

"Health and sickness are not two separate opposites. They are the poles of a range of a being’s life phenomena. The more health one has, the less the symptoms of sickness and pain are displayed. When someone is tired, stressed, or has eaten the wrong foods, for example, their ‘weak link’ will appear due to a lack of Qi (Vital Energy). That’s why health and life itself is an ongoing process that must be maintained. We can also see that health is an adaptation to your environmental influences, both internal and external."
Because it is better to remain healthy rather than seek treatment once one is ill, we believe it is important to teach the community how to maintain their health and recover from disease more quickly.  This has been forgotten in modern society. Traditionally, the role of the doctor was also that of a teacher of health. Although most everyone will become ill at some time, the degree of illness and the speed of recovery are more important considerations.
