WHAT IS TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical system which originated about 5000 years ago and has been used to treat and prevent illness.

A practitioner of TCM observes the pattern of signs and symptoms of a patient’s diagnosis which identifies the root cause of the patient’s symptoms. TCM then uses acupuncture, herbs, cupping and other techniques to treat the root cause, balance the disharmonies and alleviate symptoms.

TCM is safe and without side effects. Its actions are regulatory, encouraging the body to make natural changes from within. TCM can treat acute and chronic conditions and may help where other medicines have limited solutions.

TCM can also be used to prevent disease and help build the immune system. It can help increase energy, preserve youth and promote longevity.
