What is TCM?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a natural method of healing that involves techniques such as acupressure or massage, cupping, scraping, exercises, and of course, Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine.

The basic foundation for Chinese medicine is that there is a life energy flowing through the body which is termed Qi (pronounced "chee"). The Qi consists of all essential life activities which include the spiritual, emotional, mental and the physical aspects of life. A person's health is influenced by the flow of Qi in the body, in combination with the universal forces of Yin and Yang. This energy flows all over the body through channels known as meridians that connect all of our major organs. According to Chinese medical theory, illness arises when the cyclical flow of Qi in the meridians becomes unbalanced or is blocked.

TCM has been in use for over 5,000 years, and is being used by billions of people today. TCM offers people a holistic system of medicine to diagnose and treat the root cause of health problem.
