What it is:

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic system of health and healing developed over thousands of years in China. It is based on the concept that the body is an interconnected whole, and health depends on the balance of vital energy, known as Qi (pronounced "chee"), which flows through pathways called meridians. TCM emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang, two opposing but complementary forces that must be in harmony for good health.

​

Practices in TCM include herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping therapy, moxibustion (burning of herbs near the skin), and Tui Na (therapeutic massage). Chinese herbal medicine is often used to strengthen the body’s resistance to disease or to correct imbalances. Acupuncture, perhaps the most well-known component in the West, involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate Qi flow.

​

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, TCM aims to address the root causes of illness by considering the patient’s lifestyle, emotions, and overall constitution. Diagnosis involves examining the tongue, feeling the pulse, and evaluating other physical signs.

​

While TCM is widely used in China and increasingly accepted around the world, it is often integrated with Western medicine for a more comprehensive approach to health.

What are the benefits?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a range of benefits, especially for those seeking a natural, holistic approach to health. One of its key strengths is its focus on treating the root cause of illness, not just the symptoms. By aiming to restore balance within the body—particularly the flow of *Qi* and the harmony between Yin and Yang—TCM supports long-term wellness and disease prevention.

​

Many people turn to TCM for chronic conditions that may not respond well to conventional treatments, such as arthritis, digestive issues, anxiety, or fatigue. Techniques like acupuncture can relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Herbal medicine is used to strengthen the immune system, support organ function, and manage stress or hormonal imbalances.

​

TCM is particularly supportive of women’s health. It addresses issues like menstrual irregularities, fertility, menopause, and postpartum recovery through tailored herbal formulas and acupuncture. These treatments aim to regulate hormones, improve blood flow, and restore energy.

​

TCM also emphasizes the importance of lifestyle and emotional well-being, encouraging a balanced approach to diet, exercise, and rest. Many patients report fewer side effects and improved quality of life when combining TCM with Western medicine. Overall, TCM offers a personalized, time-tested path to healing and vitality.
