Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic system of medicine that has been developed and practiced in China for over two thousand years. It encompasses a range of traditional healing practices, theories, and interventions aimed at maintaining or restoring the balance of the body’s vital energy, known as “qi” or “chi.”

TCM views the body as an interconnected system where balance is essential for good health. It focuses on identifying patterns of disharmony and treating the root cause of an ailment rather than just alleviating symptoms.

Main components of Traditional Chinese Medicine include:

  • Herbal Medicine
  • Dietary Therapy

Herbal Medicine

TCM utilizes a wide range of herbal remedies, including plant roots, leaves, seeds, and minerals, to address various health conditions. Herbal formulations are often prescribed based on the individual’s constitution and the specific pattern of imbalance.

Dietary Therapy

TCM emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition for maintaining health. Dietary recommendations are based on an individual’s constitution, the season, and specific health conditions.
