Traditional Chinese Medicine is a medical system that has treated people and alleviated their pain for millennia. Even with the rise of technology and numerous scientific breakthroughs over the years, you'd be surprised to learn that TCM has undergone very few changes since its development.


The core of TCM is Qi, the vital life force that travels through the body. If Qi becomes subject to any imbalance, it can result in illness. These imbalances are triggered by changes in the yin and yang, the two harmonious yet opposing forces that make up the vital life force.


The theory behind this holistic healing system is that humans are nothing but microcosms in a humungous universe, making us inherently connected to nature and affected by its forces. Since yin and yang represent the balance between any two opposing forces in the universe, the balance between illness and health is also a core TCM concept. Therefore, this medical system aims to restore each person's health and disease balance through treatments.
