TCVM- Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine offers us a powerful tool to attain or regain health, energy & vigor with almost no adverse effects or invasive treatments.
TCVM is often viewed as a form of complementary therapy, and is best when used in conjunction with Western Veterinary Medicine (WVM). The east and west integration approach enables the practitioner to provide the patient with more comprehensive treatment plan. Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), although relatively new to the Western world, is a medical system that has been used in China to treat animals for thousands of years. It is an adaptation and extension of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) used to treat humans. TCVM, like any medical system, continues to evolve today, and current research on acupuncture and herbal medicine is beginning to shed light on its mechanism of action.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (or TCM) is built of five healing branches:
1. Acupuncture
2. Chinese Herbs
3. Tui-na
4. Food Therapy
5. Moderate Exercise
Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves placing hair-thin specialized needles into acupuncture points on the body known to have physiologic effects on the body's processes. The acupuncture points are in specific locations, typically lie along the body’s Meridian Channels along which Qi (energy, force of life) flows.
The Chinese believe that the balanced flow of energy in the meridians is the key to health.
Most veterinary acupuncture points and Meridian lines are transposed to animals from humans, though knowledge of some “classical points” defined on particular species have been retained and are used to this day.
Over the past 3000 years, acupuncture methods have evolved with the addition of electrical stimulation and modern understanding of its powerful healing abilities.
While acupuncture has been in use for thousands of years, hundreds of studies demonstrating its effectiveness are now being published each year, as modern science seeks to understand and quantify the pathways by which acupuncture works.
Conditions that can be treated with Acupuncture:
Acupuncture and TCVM, can alleviate almost any complaint or disorder, from speeding up recovery from surgeries, to various conditions of endocrine, behavioral, anxiety, old age weakness and regaining of energy, dementia, incontinent and off course, muscles and skeletal health issues.
Balance: As in all things, Balance is the key word. Western medicine can offer more effective treatments for some conditions, while Acupuncture and TCVM can be more effective and less harmful than western drugs, for others.
Some animals, too, will be more responsive and/or receptive to acupuncture than others.
Chinese Herbs Medicine
Herbal Medicine utilizes herbal ingredients in particular combinations or formulas to treat particular disease patterns. Herbal formulas are administered orally and are typically given in powder form to horses and other large animals and in tea pill or capsule form to cats and dogs.
Herbs are especially helpful in the treatment of chronic diseases, and diseases of the geriatric animal. They can be used to relieve pain, help improve and restore organ function, as well as strengthen and support the immune system. TCVM herbal prescriptions are specific for the individual patient and are directed at the root cause of an illness to correct it, and are not given to control symptoms alone, but instead target a long term solution for the condition.
Tui-na
Tui-na is a form of Chinese medical massage in which different manipulations are applied to Acu-points and Meridians to promote the circulation of Qi and correct imbalances within the organ systems.
The owners are guided and trained with the Tui-na techniques, and will perform them at home as ancillary treatment to facilitate recovery.
Food Therapy
Is the use of diet to treat and prevent imbalance within the body. It utilizes knowledge of the energetic of food ingredients to tailor diets for individual animals. Owners are instructed what diet items will help the pet's condition, and what items should be avoided.
Moderate Exercise
TCVM supports moderate exercise as an important factor in the healing. foe every patient a different, individual training and exercise program will be build, with tuning toward its individual needs and body requirements.
