Welcome to shiatsou-massage.gr
This site has been created to introduce you to the natural healing techniques and to what we call alternative or complementary therapies.
Over the last few years more and more people turn to the complementary therapies, as a very effective way that will bring balance within their body, mind and spirit; the prerequisite for good health. The ancient Chinese doctors had understood this value and so they created a unique system of medicine.
They have categorized the different symptoms which a disease might appear with, in the relationship between two powers, yin and yang. Generally we would say that the yin energy is the ability of the organism to replace whereas, the yang energy is the ability to produce work-energy. A person with yin deficiency might have symptoms like thirst, mouth dryness, constipation or stress without any reason. On the other hand, symptoms like extremity weakness, swelling and sense of cold or sweating with no reason might appear due to deficiency of yang energy in the body. The state of balance between these two powers is called homeostasis.
The aim of traditional Chinese medicine is to approach the person holistically, to find the cause of the problem and through advice on everyday life (nutrition, exercise etc.) to cure its root, without just suppressing its symptoms with medication.
