Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), one of the most ancient, is a distinct and comprehensive medical system with its own theoretical principles, diagnostic technology and characteristic therapies, originated in China. It has been in existence for a few thousand years and has been increasingly popular.
TCM views the body as an organic whole with a network of meridians connecting and coordinating the internal organs, Qi ("Vital energy"), blood, body fluids, muscles, bones and skin. TCM also holds its central belief that health in all parts of the body is due to the relative balance of Yin and Yang. Yin-Yang theory forms the basis of TCM's Holistic approach to health and disease and also offers practical guidance to the prevention and management of disease.
