What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) consists primarily of acupuncture, herbs, massage, meditation practices, and dietary advice. TCM is a whole system of healthcare with over 2,000 years of rich clinical experience and refinement. Working with all natural techniques, TCM is able to treat any symptom and disease by assisting the body to heal itself. This eloquent healthcare system arose from diligent observations of the environment, as our world, the macrocosm, is but a metaphor for our body, the microcosm. The ability to determine and treat the root cause of disease, through the observation of these signs and symptoms, allow TCM to assist the body to truly heal, balancing yin and yang. As the renowned author, researcher and acupuncturist, Ted Kaptchuk, eloquently stated with the title of his timeless book; we are all part of the “Web that has no weaver”.
