Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a broad range of medicine practices sharing common concepts which have been developed in China and are based on a tradition of more than 2,000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (Tui na), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy. It is primarily used as a complementary alternative medicine approach. TCM is widely used in China and it is also used in the West.

Principles of Chinese medicine treatment


Traditional Chinese medicine treats the heart, body and god as a whole. This holistic treatment comes from the basic beliefs of Chinese culture. Its focus is on the inseparable characteristics of people and the universe and the need for balance and harmony.

When the life force called qi flows smoothly in the body, the balance between the mind and the body is achieved. Similarly, people need to be in harmony with their surroundings, including adaptation to climate and lifestyle changes.

If the qi and balance are destroyed, the disease will take advantage of it.

Traditional Chinese medicine uses a set of diagnostic, therapeutic and medication systems to promote the body's immune system function, resist external evils, and restore homeostasis.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment usually includes physical therapy such as herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, massage or massage, as well as therapeutic exercises such as Tai Chi and related Qigong.
