Disease and Treatment

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)  has a history dating back to the 8th century BC. It takes a holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment, considering the balance of yin and yang in the patient’s symptoms. Yin represents earth, coldness, and femininity, while yang represents the sky, heat, and masculinity. The interaction of yin and yang influences the harmony of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners aim to regulate the balance of yin and yang through the body’s 12 meridians, which channel energy. This ancient practice encompasses various methods, including acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal remedies, manual therapies, exercises, breathing techniques, and dietary adjustments. Acupuncture, in particular, is widely practiced and recognized as a prominent form of traditional medicine, extending its reach to every corner of the world.
