Traditional Chinese Medicine – TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM, is the term given to various treatments from various places in Asia. It is considered an alternative therapy in Western countries; it is a long-standing medical practice widely accepted in many Asian countries. But what is TCM?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about balance. It is also a holistic approach, treating the mind, body, and spirit as closely related. Any part of a complete entity that is out of balance – in the physical and metaphysical sense is likely to cause disease.

It derives its roots from the yin-yang theory (absorbed by Taoism). The Yin-yang theory is once again on balance. It asserts that all the phenomena of the universe can be divided into two different but complementary parts. Familiar examples include woman/man, cold/hot, moon/sun, light/dark, etc. In the strictest sense, neither good nor bad, but both are part of everything. Traditional Chinese Medicine aims to maintain balance and maintain health.
