Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a form of medical practice that has been used in China for thousands of years. It is based on the concept of Qi (pronounced "chee"), which is the vital energy that flows through the body's meridians or pathways. TCM includes a range of practices, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion and dietary therapy. It is a holistic approach to health, treating not just the physical symptoms of a condition, but also the emotional and spiritual aspects of a person's health. There is a growing body of research that suggests TCM can be an effective complement to Western medicine in treating a range of health conditions. In TCM, the focus is on maintaining balance and harmony within the body, rather than just treating specific symptoms or diseases. Practitioners use a variety of diagnostic techniques, including pulse and tongue diagnosis, to determine imbalances in the body's Qi and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has a holistic approach and looks at body and mind as one. A person is therefore considered a complex entity of matter, energy and spirit that is constantly developing and subject to change. All parts are connected: the mind affects the body, whereby mental and psychological problems can be expressed in the body. And vice versa, the body affects the mind, with mental issues causing physical ones.

TCM has always considered stress the primary cause of disease. This philosophy makes TCM a suitable method for tackling issues of modern-day life. These days, more and more people are suffering from stress-related ailments, such as tension, anxiety, sleeping issues, digestive complaints, obesity, etc. From a traditional-Chinese-medicine perspective, they can be treated at the root of the cause.
