Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic system that views health as a balanced flow of vital energy called Qi, which circulates through channels called meridians. It emphasizes harmony between the body's organs, mind, and environment. TCM uses various methods such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, tui na (massage), and dietary adjustments to restore balance and promote natural healing. Its principles are rooted in the understanding that imbalances or blockages in Qi can lead to illness, and treatments aim to correct these disruptions to maintain overall health and well-being.
