At Asiana Wellness, we incorporate medical traditions from China, as well as Korea and Japan. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive healthcare system encompassing a variety of modalities to diagnose and treat illnesses, prevent diseases, and improve overall mental and physical health. TCM is currently used in modern clinical settings all over the world.
In TCM, a patient’s emotional, psychological, and somatic symptoms are considered equally important in identifying patterns of disharmony, which serve to construct an individually tailored treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine intrinsically includes psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) theory, which is a relatively new discipline in Western medicine.
At Asiana Wellness, Newport Beach, Orange County, California, we believe the body is constantly communicating about the state of health and we pay careful attention to it. We apply diagnostic techniques to focus on the early signs and symptoms. We are also firm believers of the TCM principle that our patients have the inherent self-healing capacity. We apply this core belief in all our treatments and empower our patients to take charge of their health.
At Asiana Wellness, we recognize that acupuncture excels in treating conditions rooted in emotion and exacerbated by stress or anxiety, such as sleep problems, mood disorders, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, and chronic pain. Kiecolt-Glaser et al. (2002) found “psychological factors have clinically significant relationships with immune-related health outcomes, including infectious disease, cancer, wound healing, autoimmune disease, and HIV.”
And because an untreated psychoneuroimmunological stress can lead to negative consequences and greater risk for illness, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine can also treat many serious and chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, menstrual dysfunction, infertility, arthritis, and metabolic disorders.
