Welcome to ASIA PAWS

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) the main cause of illness is the lack or blockage of energy. Conventionally, this energy is called “Qi”. The advantage of TCVM is that it treats the root cause of a particular disease and not merely the symptoms. Acupuncture is the principal tool for treatment under TCVM, using fine needles at the appropriate energy access points to restore and rebalance energy flow in animals.
