Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic medical system that has been used for thousands of years in China and other parts of Asia. It is based on the principle that the human body is a microcosm of the larger universe, and that health is achieved through the balance and harmony of opposing forces, known as yin and yang.
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
TCM encompasses a range of practices, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, massage, and exercises such as tai chi and qigong. These practices are based on the belief that the body has a natural ability to heal itself, and that illness arises when the body's natural balance is disrupted.
In TCM, the diagnosis of illness is based on a detailed examination of the patient's symptoms, as well as their medical history, physical characteristics, and lifestyle. Treatment is tailored to the individual, with the aim of restoring balance and promoting overall health and wellbeing.
