Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM for short, is a system of medicine practiced in China for thousands of years. It is based on the belief that health is achieved when the body’s “qi” (pronounced “chee”) is in balance. TCM uses various methods to restore balance, including acupuncture, herbs, and massage.
What should I know about this?
Acupuncture is one of the most well-known aspects of TCM. It involves the insertion of thin needles into the skin at specific points on the body. The goal of acupuncture is to unblock “qi” and restore balance.
Herbal medicine is another critical component of TCM. Herbs treat various conditions, from colds and flu to more serious diseases. TCM practitioners may prescribe a single herb or a combination of herbs depending on the patient’s individual needs.
Massage is also used in TCM. Massage can relieve pain, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.
