Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the modern practice of ancient healing techniques from China, whose tradition began over 3000 years ago. TCM owes its foundation to four modalities which comprise a holistic medical system: acupuncture, dietary therapy, qi gong and Chinese herbal medicine.
TCM views the body as one interconnected unit that is always trying to maintain a sense of balance or harmony. Illness occurs when the body is out of balance. TCM seeks to restore balance to the body through movement of energy or qi through the body's 12 meridians or energy channels. This can be accomplished through the use of acupuncture via the insertion of very thin needles into specific acupuncture points on the body; Chinese herbs that are taken internally or applied topically; qi gong meditative exercises; and dietary and lifestyle changes.
