TCM & Health Insights
Chengdu sits at the heart of Shu-style traditional Chinese medicine. This hub explains the therapies you may encounter on an EastwardWell wellness journey, in plain language.
Constitution assessment
TCM begins by understanding your constitution — the pattern of balance that shapes how you feel. Assessments guide which therapies and herbal plans suit you.
Therapies at a glance
- Acupuncture — fine-needle therapy traditionally used for pain, stress and recovery support.
- Moxibustion — gentle heat from moxa to warm and regulate.
- Tuina & bone setting — therapeutic massage and alignment techniques.
- Gua sha & cupping — surface therapies for tension and circulation.
- Visual ear cleaning — a Shu-specialty comfort ritual, as relaxing as it sounds.
Wellness, not diagnosis
TCM wellness complements modern medicine but does not replace diagnosis or treatment. Partner practitioners assess suitability individually, and licensed clinicians remain responsible for clinical care.
