Chinese Medicine

---

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a medical system that has been used for thousands of years to treat, diagnose, and prevent disease. It's based on the idea that the body has a vital life force called qi that flows through meridians (channels) and that imbalances in qi can cause illness. TCM also holds that the body has opposing forces called yin and yang that can block qi and cause disease. TCM aims to restore balance and harmony between yin and yang through treatments that are specific to the individual.
