讲座介绍：	Topic 1: TCM is an oriental and complete medical system arising from a living tradition that spans at least 5,000 years from China. Resting upon a well-structured, solid and coherent theoretical basis (such as Yin-yang, five elements and meridian systems), TCM provides an integral framework for understanding, interpreting and organizing intervention in the human health-disease process. In this talk, participants will be given a brief introduction to TCM, to have a better understanding of how TCM works and how it defers from Western medicine. Topic 2: Acupuncture is a popular and effective form of TCM therapy. In Singapore, only registered TCM practitioners are allowed to practise acupuncture. For the general public, acupressure is therefore a more viable method for self-treatment and healthcare purposes. For acupressure to be effective, basic understanding of meridian theory and acupoints is necessary. By applying pressure on selected acupoints and/or meridians, the body’s energy and blood circulation can be improved, thereby enhancing our health and vitality. This talk will cover some of the commonly used acupoints. With this knowledge, we will touch on the common symptoms due to stress and long hours in front of a computer, and how one can use acupressure techniques to relieve such strain and fatigue. Demonstration on identifying and locating the commonly used acupoints will also be given during the talk. Other common methods used in TCM such as herbal teas will also be briefly touched on.
