Its origins go back thousands of years. It originated in China and then spread all over the world. According to this medicine, internal bodies can be healed and cured when pressing and acupuncturing 12 external points. Chinese medicine deals with 12 main lines in the human body that branch out into countless lines and ramifications, most notably the yin and yang, which represent the negative and the positive similar to the electric current.

Exclusively! Naturopathy + hydrotherapy (treatment by water) + Chinese medicine + health systems management + osteopathy (orthopedic treatment) only in one tuition fee!!

Chinese medicine has spread around the world, and the World Health Organization has recognized it. Thus, it is taught in institutes and colleges in Western countries and it is used in most countries of the world. The philosophy of this medicine stems from the phenomena that every relationship in this world is positive and negative, day and night, above and below, outside and inside. Thus, the male is symbolized by the positive, which is called the yang and the female is symbolized by the negative, which is called the yin. This duality represents the element of balance in life.
This rule applies to the human body. Just as there is high blood pressure, there is also a low blood pressure, and an increase in the sugar level is offset by a decrease in the percentage for some, and an increase in the secretion of the glands is also offset by the opposite. On this basis, the increase in the proportion of something is called the "yang" and the decrease in it is called the “yin”. According to the approach of the Chinese medicine, the natural form of the body is the presence of an internal balance between the positive and the negative, and any imbalance might cause a pathological condition that needs treatment since the imbalance leads to a disruption of the internal energy of the body points. Chinese acupuncture is a branch of the traditional Chinese medicine.
The treatment of Chinese acupuncture is based on the idea that the living organisms have a vital energy called "Qi", which is circulated in 12 invisible energy lines. These lines are known as the Meridians. Each of these lines is related to a different organ.

Any imbalance of the vital energy flow "Qi" leads to diseases. Acupuncture scientists insert needles into specific points in the energy lines to regain balance and energy flow. The human body has more than 1,000 acupuncture points.
In 1997, acupunctures were reclassified from "laboratory needles", that are still undergoing experiments, to a "medical device" by the United States of America - the Food and Drug Administration. In the same year, the National Health Organization issued a statement of unanimous approval to recognize the validity of acupuncture as the best treatment for many conditions. There are many theories about how to use acupuncture which include stimulating of endorphin secretion, which are substances that transmit nerve signals to and from the brain, the effect on the nervous system, stimulating blood circulation and effect on the electrical current in the body.

The use of Chinese herbal remedies is often combined with acupuncture to help balance the body functions and improve blood circulation. A Chinese medicine healer selects Chinese herbal medicine based on the physical and mental conditions of each individual patient. Herbal medicine is based on plant, mineral or animal origin. Many herbs were used in the previous ages to treat diseases, and these medicines are considered today as an important part of the global medical legacy, whether in treating diseases or improving organ functions.
In addition to acupuncture and herbal medicine, Chinese medicine has many and varied methods, such as finger pressure therapy, air cups, Moxa, reflexology, electrical stimulation, Chinese nutrition, Reiki, Chinese physiotherapy and so on.

CMA

The Complementary Medical Association, The world’s biggest & leading association of research, academic training&recognition of colleges & therapists worldwide in the fields of complementary & integrative medicine.

Mission & Objectives
The Complementary Medical Association's (The CMA) primary aim is to promote ethical, responsible, professional complementary medicine to the public and the medical profession.
We believe that by promoting The CMA and its Registered Members & Colleges in all categories, though the media and online in a hugely high-profile manner, we are able to help the public and doctors to realize that complementary and integrative medicine is - when delivered safely and ethically - a viable and highly desirable form of healthcare. In addition, here at the CMA, we are totally dedicated to representing "the professional face of complementary medicine" and by promoting research, education and knowledge in the field, we will help to stimulate demand for the medicine of the 21st century and beyond.
The CMA is great news for professional practitioners, ethical colleges and patients who demand and expect excellence in every aspect of treatment.
What is the CMA?
The CMA is a not-for-profit organization which means that any funds we raise, through membership fees, book, training and product sales or donations are invested straight back into the organization.
A great part of our work consists of referring public and conventional medics alike to CMA registered practitioners so that they can be assured that treatment will be delivered
by a highly qualified, insured practitioner who adheres to a strict Code of Ethics and disciplinary procedure. We call this the "CMA Referrals Scheme".
In addition, we are able to help members of the public who wish to train in the complementary medical field to access our Registered Training Schools and Colleges. We provide assistance to Schools who wish to have their courses Registered and Accredited by the CMA.
We work closely with the conventional medical profession as we ultimately believe that the most important person after all, is the patient, and we believe that by presenting the patient with good, accurate information about complementary medical approaches they can make responsible informed decisions about their own health care. It is important to remember that both complementary and conventional medicine have a great deal to offer - when used appropriately, justifiably and responsibly. Ultimately, the freedom to choose one's own health care is a vital human right which should be protected.
Our History
The CMA was established in early 1993, by Jayney Goddard, in response to the overriding lack of public and medical knowledge about the complementary medical profession. During the initial two years we devoted our time to performing the market research that would indicate whether there could be a viable way of raising the profile of ethical, responsible complementary medicine. It was vital to establish and justify whether "yet another organization" needed to exist in the already saturated complementary medical organization field.
We spent a long time analyzing the entire arena and found that nothing was being done at that time by any membership body or organization to promote practitioners
or training schools in a high profile, professional manner.
Furthermore, at that time, complementary medicine had a very unprofessional profile; somewhat akin to a cottage industry. This was a sorry state of affairs and it became rapidly apparent that The CMA needed to exist if professional complementary medicine were to stand a chance.
Here at The CMA we are a dedicated team of committed professionals (we're all qualified healthcare practitioners) and we are absolutely serious about achieving our mission. We have always had a commitment to making sure that our Members can contact us easily and will always be able to get through to a real person at the end of the phone line. In addition, our e-communications are exceptionally effective and we are able to disseminate important information to our Members extremely rapidly and efficiently.
Where are we now?
The CMA opened its doors to members at the beginning of 1995 and to date, The CMA represents the interests of thousands of practitioners in various categories - including students and 180+ Training Schools/Colleges with additional organizations approaching us regularly. We also have another membership section, "Friends of the CMA" which comprises a variety of supporters, all of whom are keen to support the work of the CMA.
The CMA has a high media profile and we constantly work with major media organizations.
We are committed to cultivating a high media profile, through which we achieve in excess of ten individual media exposures per week including TV, radio, magazines, newspapers and the Internet. Our estimated monthly reach is circa 650,000 individuals.
We are committed to thinking creatively when it comes to promoting our members and we are dedicated to working creatively when promoting our Member's interests - just one example of this is that The CMA has - over the years - even undertaken extremely high-profile promotional campaigns utilizing advertising space on London Underground trains and Docklands Light Railway.
What We Do
q Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Hugely important for us all in this profession. We offer practitioners lots of opportunities to keep their professional skills up-to-date with courses, seminars, ongoing tutorials and more by the leading lectures of UK & Europe.
q Membership ID Card, Certificate
It is vital that practitioners display their CMA certificate within their office or practice rooms to confirm their
Membership of this esteemed organization. We also
12
provide them with an ID card, which many of our Members find useful when on external site visits.
q LondonBoroughsSpecialTreatmentExemptedStatus Certain categories of practitioner are subject to requiring a “Special Treatment License” if they work in London and other cities. These licenses cost up to £1000+ and practicing without one leaves the practitioner open to a fine of up to £5000+. By registering with the CMA, after we approve their professional level and training, they are covered under our umbrella exemption – saving you thousands – and protecting them and their practice.
q CMA weekly e-Newsletter
This fantastically informative email brings practitioners the very latest news and research from around the world on all aspects of complementary medicine, natural health and wellness – and relevant conventional medical findings too.
q CMA Training / Courses
The CMA is dedicated to keeping our Members at the top of their profession, to this end we consistently offer ongoing training – with a particular emphasis on practice and training school development. CMA Members benefit from hugely discounted rates for these courses, compared to non- Members. CMA is an academic supporter of complementary medicine colleges, which meet the high criteria of the CMA, and after examining in-depth the curricula and study conditions that the college grants to students, the CMA grants a certificate of recognition to the college.
q Liaison at governmental level representing All CMA Members
The CMA is a Member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Complementary and Integrative Medicine in UK. This means that we are representing practitioners’ interests at Governmental level – and can shape policy within this field to support our Members. CMA Members are allowed to attend these meetings at the House of Commons by arrangement.
q Webinars, Seminars, CPD workshops and further qualifications
The CMA liaises with various respected organization who are offering further training to our Members. If we believe that these trainings are of value, we negotiate special rates for our Members as part of our Membership Benefits package.
In addition to each certificate that the graduates receive from AUEDI, each graduate also receives an international certificate from CMA.
