What is TCM?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the oldest medical systems in the world. It continues to be accepted by more and more people on the earth due to its efficacy, long-term benefits and minimal side effects. This ancient medicinal philosophy was developed through the observation of nature and the cosmos, rooted in the wisdom of Taoism, the concepts of Yin & Yang and the 5 Elements.

The treatment takes a holistic and balanced approach to heal diseases; restore the Qi, blood, Yin, and Yang’s balance; strengthen the body’s self-healing ability; and increase vitality. At the same time, TCM also addresses the underlying root causes of health issues in order to prevent illness.

In TCM, Qi (pronounced “chee”) is the invisible life force which flows throughout one’s body. Blockage and insufficiency of Qi in the body causes disease.

Meridians are the channel or network through which Qi flows in the body.

Yin and Yang are the underlying principle of Chinese medicine. They are complementary aspects and good health results from the balance of Yin and Yang.
