Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the body on an energetic and holistic level. It involves a set of philosophies and principles that are used to explain 'wellness' and 'illness' in terms of 'balance' or 'imbalance' within the body. Health is maintained and disease prevented by maintaining balance between our body and the environment. At Bendigo Chinese Medicine, it is our goal to assist you in achieving your optimal physical, mental and spiritual health by offering you tailored and varied treatment options.

Your practitioner will ask questions about all aspects of your body function (energy, emotions, temperature, digestion, appetite, thirst, urination, bowel motions, menstruation, sense organs, pain, medical history). The pulse will be taken, and the tongue will be observed. Abdominal palpation or Hara diagnosis may also be used.
Acupuncture is over 2,500 years old and is based on the Meridian system. This is a network of 'vessels' for Qi (chi) and blood flow. Acupuncture points are points along meridians at which we can access certain energetic qualities. There are 12 Regular Meridians in the body, and 8 Extra Meridians. Qi flows in a continuous circuit through the 12 Regular meridians, with each meridian having a peak time to when the Qi is fullest within that meridian.
Esoteric Acupuncture was developed to address the complex imbalances of people today and addresses imbalances on the physical, etheric, astral, mental, causal, buddhic, atmic, and monadic plane. Esoteric Acupuncture encompasses a much broader spectrum of healing and emphasizes the wellness stage versus the disease stage of the traditional health systems.
Japanese Acupuncture stems from the Chinese system of Acupuncture and has been part of the Japanese medical culture for over 1400 years. Up until the mid-ninth century, all medical knowledge from China was openly assimilated, but due to political problems, contact with China was curtailed, forcing Japanese physicians to begin refining and developing their own ideas and methods.
