TCM
TCM is a 5,000 year old tradition from ancient China. It includes herbs, acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, and diet. (Before, it even included surgery and bone setting.) The medicine has grown over the millennia but stays to the basics of balancing the body’s qi flow. It uses the philosophy of the Five Elements, yin/yang, feng shui and more. It is concerned with the ability to treat a patient without being invasive like surgery. It is designed to help guide the entire body back to health from the root of the problem which can manifest in different organs and even mentally. It sees the mind and body as one therefore a person must be treated as one: there is no separation of mind from body.
