More DescriptionTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of healthcare that has been practiced in China for over two thousand years. It is a holistic approach to medicine that seeks to balance the body, mind, and spirit in order to maintain or restore health.
TCM is based on the concept of Qi (pronounced "chee"), which is believed to be the vital life force that flows through the body along pathways known as meridians. When Qi is flowing freely, the body is healthy, but when it becomes blocked or stagnant, illness can result.
TCM practitioners use a variety of techniques to restore the flow of Qi and promote health, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, dietary therapy, and exercise such as Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
One of the unique features of TCM is its emphasis on individualized treatment. Practitioners take into account a patient's overall health, lifestyle, and emotional well-being, as well as their specific symptoms, when developing a treatment plan.
TCM has gained popularity in Western countries in recent years, with many people seeking out alternative and complementary forms of healthcare. However, it is important to note that TCM is not a substitute for conventional medical care and should be used in conjunction with it.
