The cultural
heritage of Chinese medicine has been developed over centuries
and remains one of the oldest forms of medicine still thriving
in today's modern society. Its endurance is a testament
to the fact disease prevention and a holistic approach to
health through multi modalities such as pulse diagnosis,
herbal treatments, acupuncture and qi gong, just to name
a few, are important for well being. The spread of Chinese
medicine to the western world has allowed individuals who
have not grown up with this tradition to share in its benefits.
Unfortunately, misinformation and incorrect perceptions
about Chinese medicine have also increased along with its
spread.
IWC
and our associate Integrated Chinese Medicine Holdings Ltd.
(“ICM”) was founded to preserve Chinese medicine's
holistic methods and focuses on disease prevention rather
than cure. In order to achieve these goals and maintain
the true essence of Chinese medicine, the company provides
comprehensive Chinese medicine services such as information
sharing, clinical consultations and herbal supplements.
The
mission of Integrated Wellness Centre is to:
- Disseminate comprehensive
information about important aspects of Chinese medicine.
- Introduce quality herbal
supplements which are based on the principles and heritage
of Chinese medicine, yet are manufactured according
to stringent western standards.
- Develop a Chinese medicine
clinical practice model that delivers Chinese medicine
services to local and international communities.
IWC
also recognizes the importance of using western medicine
to treat certain conditions. Because Chinese medicine focuses
on holistic health, it complements western medical practices.
In many instances, combined treatment methods using both
Chinese and western medicine have had more favorable outcomes
then using either system alone. The ultimate goal for any
healthcare provider is to give the best care possible to
maintain or restore health.
The
vision of IWC is to:
- Integrate western and
Chinese medicine practices to create a healthcare system
synergy that offers the best medical care possible worldwide
IWC
is deeply committed to the communities it serves and to
upholding Chinese medicine's culture and tradition. We firmly
believe all individuals are entitled to quality healthcare
and will continue to strive for the further advancement
of Chinese medicine in modern-day society. After all, Health
is Wealth, Prevention is better than Cure.
