Traditional Chineese Medicine

TCM treats the mind, body and spirit as a whole. This holistic approach comes from the fundamental beliefs of Chinese culture, which focuses on the inseparable nature of humans and the universe and the need for balance and harmony.

When the life force known as Qi flows freely through the body, the mind and body are in balance. Similarly, people need to be in harmony with their surroundings, which includes adapting to changes in climate and lifestyle.

If the flow and balance of Qi are disrupted, disease can take advantage.

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses a system of diagnosis, treatment and medication to promote the body’s immune system function, resist external pathogens and restore internal balance.

Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments often include herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, physical therapy such as massage or Tui Na, and therapeutic exercises such as Tai Chi and related Qigong.
