Elevating Longevity With Traditional Chinese Medicine
24/01/2025, RAKxa Integrative WellnessThe wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) seeks to treat the person as a whole person; this aligns with RAKxa Integrative Wellness' philosophy to bring you closer to a state of wholeness. By addressing the root cause of imbalances rather than treating specific symptoms, Traditional Chinese Medicine aims at promoting long-term wellness that extends beyond physical health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses a variety of healing methods centred around its key concept of energy flow or “qi” to treat individuals as a whole—the same way as RAKxa synergises different therapies to create their comprehensive programmes that will lead your journey to longevity. By integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine with other healing methods, they effectively re-establish your balance, elevating your longevity beyond single therapies.
Integrative diagnostics with Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views health as a state of wholeness that encompasses more than just the physical body, and that is why its diagnosis extends beyond the physical to emotional and overall vitality.
Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors diagnose your imbalance by observing various signs your body is sending, primarily through appearance, pulse, tongue and eyes.
The tongue, for example, can reflect the functions of major organs and related health issues.
What your tongue says about your health:
If the tongue is pale, it indicates qi deficiency and dampness. If there is a thick white patch coating on the surface of the middle part of your tongue, TCM doctors may assume that you are having spleen qi deficiency which leads to bloating and fatigue.
If it is bright red, there may be too much heat in a certain organ. If the tip is very red, Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors may assume you have restless thoughts.
At RAKxa, the signs of your imbalance will be investigated further using scientific diagnostics and lab investigations. Urine Organic Profile can determine the efficiency of metabolisms and gut ecosystems when you experience fatigue and bloating due to spleen qi deficiency. Checking cortisol levels in Hormone Panel may scientifically confirm whether you are stuck in the stress cycle or not. These test results will provide in-depth information to help RAKxa select and personalise treatments according to your specific conditions.
For Purification: Chi Nei Tsang & Colon Hydrotherapy
A more balanced and harmonious state for both the body and mind is achieved through cleansed and enhanced gut health. Focusing on the abdominal area or the “second brain,” Chi Nei Tsang increases bowel movement with abdominal massage to help move waste through the colon and relax internal organs. The benefits of Chi Nei Tsang are amplified by science-based Colon Hydrotherapy which further aids in flushing out toxins accumulating in the colon.
For Purification: Acupuncture & IV Liver Detox
For more efficient organ detoxification, acupuncture and IV Liver Detox are integrated to help with issues that indicate the need for deep cleansing and qi rebalancing. Acupuncture restores qi flow with thin needle insertion along meridian channels to unblock and nourish liver qi. IV Liver Detox therapy amplifies the organ’s capabilities for better natural detoxification by enriching the liver with antioxidants and micronutrients.
For Rejuvenation: Cupping & Whole Body Light
When your body has an efficient healing process, cells are rejuvenated better. Traditional Chinese Medicine cupping can help your body heal more efficiently by improving circulation and removing blockage with suction on specific points or areas. This process also helps release toxins from deep tissues, facilitating the elimination of waste products from cells. Marks or bruises from cupping can be addressed with Whole Body Light therapy which not only improves the body’s response to minimal inflammation, but also supports the natural healing process.
For Restoration: Deep Tissue Massage & Acupuncture
For enhanced qi flow, Deep Tissue Massage is added to relieve body tension and muscle stiffness by employing therapeutic touch concentrating on the deeper layers of the muscles. Acupuncture is added to deactivate the trigger points more deeply and specifically, particularly in areas where massage may not be practical. Acupuncture can also be performed in specific areas to speed up the self-healing process.
