Traditional Chinese Medicine
TCM is based on the philosophy that the body has chi, or vital energy, running in specific channels (meridians) through it, which can be disturbed resulting in disease. Chinese tongue and pulse diagnosis are tools that guide the practitioner to areas of imbalance. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are used therapeutically to re-establish health and the flow of body chi. Acupuncture involves insertion of fine needles into specific points along body meridians to stimulate nerves and flow of energy to organs and tissues. It is effective in many conditions, including pain relief, insomnia, anxiety, depression, digestive complaints, hormonal problems, female issues, respiratory complaints, and addiction. Dr. Bratt is board-certified in Acupuncture by the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C.
