Paediatric Tui Na is a well established branch of traditional Chinese medicine. In the Tui Na wards we witness the miraculous effects of Tui Na massage bringing a brain-damaged baby in a coma back to consciousness.

This baby while being treated for meningitis had fallen into a deep coma from which she had shown no sign of recovery for 4 weeks. After extensive testing and Western medical treatment for meningitis, the parents were given the devastating news that they should take their child home to die.

They came to the traditional hospital in a last desperate attempt to save their child. A medically trained Tui Na doctor used deep and strong pressure on very specific points and amazingly restored her back to consciousness. The ability of Tui Na to successfully treat more common childhood ailments such as asthma, vomiting, fever, insomnia and anxiety is also shown.

Tui Na for children can help maintain the patterns of Qi balance that promote and co-ordinate physical development resulting in a fit, strong, bright child. A strong immune system is another "spin off" from well-balanced Qi. Good brain development ensures that intelligence can reach full potential

Food is not only something to eat for the Chinese, but is also medicine. They believe that a correct diet is at the forefront of healthcare practice and the treatment of disease.

The film shows that many Chinese herbs and formulae have been used for over a thousand years to promote not only a cure for conditions such as infertility, menopause and skin conditions but also as a means of maintaining radiant good health.

In the West vast quantities of prescription and over the counter manufactured synthetic drugs are consumed which are also available in China. But Chinese people are only too aware that all Western drugs are artificial substances that do have negative and sometimes even serious side effects.

This is why most Chinese prefer to use herbal medicine because they are natural substances and there are herbs for virtually every kind of health problem. Many herbs are so safe and nourishing that they can be taken as daily tonics over a long period of time.

2000 years ago the Chinese had already described and catalogued some 300 different medicinal herbs. 1000 years later, the list had more than quadrupled. Today the catalogue contains around 10,000 different species, most of them now cultivated on a vast scale with 400 in common every day use.

Like all branches of TCM, these exercises have been developed over thousands of years. Their purpose is to improve the uptake of Qi from the air and to promote its effective circulation to maintain and improve the function of all the internal organs keeping the body healthy and able to achieve it’s maximum potential.

The Chinese do Qigong and Tai Chi to give resistance to disease, to feel good, to have greater stamina and energy and to live longer, healthier, happier lives. Chinese medicine advocates gentle controlled exercise throughout adult life into old age.
