Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic system of healthcare with roots dating back thousands of years in China. It is based on the concept of balancing vital energy, or Qi, within the body to maintain overall health. TCM uses various diagnostic methods, including pulse and tongue examination, to identify imbalances. Treatment typically involves personalized herbal remedies, acupuncture (inserting thin needles into specific points on the body), dietary recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and additional therapies like cupping and moxibustion. TCM aims to address not only symptoms but also the underlying causes of illness, promoting harmony in the body's interconnected systems.
