🫖 What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic approach to health rooted in a tradition that dates back more than 2,000 years. It views the human body as a whole and recognizes the close connections between the body, emotions, and the surrounding environment.

Rather than focusing solely on relieving individual symptoms, TCM also emphasizes maintaining internal balance and supporting overall well-being through a holistic approach to health and daily care.

According to TCM theory, Qi, or vital energy, flows throughout the body through a network of meridians. When this flow is disrupted, or when the balance between Yin and Yang is disturbed, various states of discomfort may occur, such as fatigue, poor sleep, emotional fluctuations, or digestive discomfort.

To support the restoration and maintenance of balance, TCM encompasses a range of traditional practices, including acupuncture, moxibustion, Tui Na massage, cupping, as well as the use of traditional herbs and herbal infusions.
