Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic medical system originating in China over 2,000 years ago. It encompasses various practices such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping therapy, and qigong. TCM is based on the principles of balance and harmony within the body, emphasizing the flow of vital energy known as "Qi" through pathways called meridians. Practitioners of TCM use diagnostic techniques including observation, listening, and pulse-taking to determine imbalances and prescribe treatments aimed at restoring health and preventing illness. TCM is widely used both in China and globally, often integrated with conventional medicine.
