TCM Associations

TCM Associations refer to the traditional Chinese medicine concept that links specific organs with other parts of the body, emotions, and energies. For example, the liver is connected not just to physical health but also to emotional states like anger, and to the flow of qi (life energy). These associations help practitioners diagnose and treat imbalances holistically, considering how physical symptoms, emotions, and energy flow influence overall health. Understanding these relationships allows for targeted therapies, such as herbal formulas, acupuncture, or diet adjustments, aimed at restoring harmony within the body's interconnected system.
