Chinese medicine is an ancient medicine and science that has developed over the last 2,000 years. Chinese Medicine has an entirely different way of looking at the body and describing its function when compared to many of the western medical theories, but can be implemented with Western medical approaches. Treatment in Chinese medicine can include acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese herbal medicine, exercise, and diet therapy.
Dr. Rachel Erickson graduated from the Classical Chinese Medicine Program at The National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Classical Chinese Medicine is a system of knowledge based upon the ancient classical texts that can be learned through cultivation of the deep respect for nature and a highly individualized relationship to the medicine.
