Korean traditional medicine
Korean traditional medicine (KTM) is a holistic healthcare system that has been practiced for thousands of years. It emphasizes balancing the body's energy, known as "qi," through methods like herbal remedies, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and manual therapies. KTM aims to prevent illness and enhance well-being by addressing physical, emotional, and environmental factors. Rooted in ancient philosophies, it integrates natural elements and traditional diagnostics to support health, often complementing modern treatments. While evidence varies, many practitioners and patients find KTM effective for conditions like pain, fatigue, and stress, emphasizing a personalized approach to health and wellness.
