Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM is a holistic healing method that has been practiced in China for over 3000 years. Unlike Western medicine, which relies heavily on scientific and experimental evidence, TCM is based on empirical healing practices. The goal is not only to treat existing illnesses but also to prevent diseases. In TCM, humans are viewed as energetic beings where internal organs and body parts are interconnected through energy pathways called meridians. The energy that flows through the body is known as Qi, which nourishes the body and sustains life by flowing through these meridians and vessels. In TCM, illness is defined as a misdistribution of energy, where the flow of energy is either blocked or weakened, leading to disharmony and disease. Acupuncture is the primary method used to influence this energy flow by inserting needles to harmonize Qi and remove blockages. TCM views humans as part of nature and takes into account environmental factors such as climate and seasons when diagnosing and treating illnesses. Today, TCM is practiced worldwide and has gained significant recognition in the Western world.
