Description
Massage in Traditional Chinese Medicine is known as An Mo (pressing and rubbing) or Qigong Massage, and is the foundation of Japan's Anma. Categories include Pu Tong An Mo (general massage), Tui Na An Mo (pushing and grasping massage), Dian Xue An Mo (cavity pressing massage), and Qi An Mo (energy massage). Tui na focuses on pushing, stretching, and kneading muscles, and Zhi Ya focuses on pinching and pressing at acupressure points. Technique such as friction and vibration are used as well. The ancient Chinese medical text, Huangdi Neijing, has been consulted for more than two millennia. It was written by the Yellow Emperor. In the text, the emperor recommends massage for healing and health. Traditional Chinese medicine is a style of traditional medicine informed by modern medicine but built on a foundation of more than 2,500 years of Chinese medical practice that includes various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (tui na), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy. It is primarily used as a complementary alternative medicine approach. The Ming dynasty was the ruling dynasty of China for 276 years (1368-1644).
