Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient technique and unique therapy program, which establishes a balance for energy (Yin and Yang) and blood circulation within the body, creating harmony for good health. “Classical” TCM was developed in China as a system of diagnosing and treating pain and any kind of diseases. The first written book was engraved on stone called eight trig rams, the basic foundation of Chinese medicine philosophy was written 3500 years ago. Different from the western approach to medicine, TCM addresses treating the disease of the entire body, not just the symptoms. This holistic approach is as much a preventative course of action as it is therapeutic. The philosophy in China is that we should get healthy from our food first and use medications only when really needed. Another cultural difference that is interesting to note is that, in the past, in Chinese history, the doctors were, and still are, ashamed if their patients keep returning for treatment. It means they aren’t doing their job very well. So if the patients get well after treatment doctor could teach patients some excises and dietician methods of how to keep healthy.
