White Lotus Acupuncture and Massage offers a holistic approach to health and wellbeing by encouraging the body’s own natural healing process with the use of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) principles. Most Chinese Medicine schools today teach Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which was born as a result of the Cultural revolution in China in 1966 and before. This was when Mao attempted to perform a massive standardization of the vast variety of treatment styles and medical practices which existed in the different provinces of mainland China. These principles were handed down from generations to generations and were often kept secret within a family line. The standardization to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was to make Chinese medicine more accessible to westerners, but nonetheless made the medicine much less authentic to its roots of wisdom and body of knowledge, thus losing its true nature as a science of life and natural phenomena. The role of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) has been to keep these concepts intact and respecting the wisdom and knowledge outlined in the most ancient classical texts dating all the way back to the Han Dynasty ca. 500 BC and beyond.
