Chinese medicine is gaining popularity in Dubai. DAAN offers an extensive products that can help you obtain a healthy lifestyle.
There’s nothing straightforward or simple about Chinese medicine. I discover this on my visit to the Chaslu Wellbeing Centre, where I assumed I could just pick up a list of the medicinal properties of easy-to-find herbs and spices. Dr Li Xiao Ling, the clinic’s herbal specialist, smiles at me and shakes her head.
‘In Western medicine, doctors will use the same medicine for different treatments. We use a different prescription for every person. People react differently to medicines depending on their yin and yang.’Yin and yang, she tells me, are the energies that balance the body. When they are mismatched, the body gets sick. However, the energy can be unbalanced in different channels of the body, of which there are 14, containing a total of 369 energy points (these are often treated with acupuncture). Dr Li also explains that there are roughly 130,000 different herbs used in Chinese medicine, and while she does offer a few at-home remedies, she stresses that, like any medicine, the herbs should be prescribed.
