Oriental medicine

Oriental medicine, also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is an ancient system of healing that focuses on balancing the body's vital energy, or "qi." It uses approaches like acupuncture, herbal remedies, massage (tuina), and dietary therapy to promote health and prevent or treat illness. TCM views health as harmony within the body and with the environment, emphasizing individualized treatment based on patterns of imbalance. Modern research increasingly supports its effectiveness for various conditions, highlighting its holistic and preventive approach rooted in centuries of practice.
