What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healthcare system that has evolved over thousands of years in China starting approximately 2500 years ago. At its core, TCM is based on the concept of balancing the body's vital energy, known as "Qi," which flows through a network of energy channels called "meridians." These meridians serve as pathways to distribute Qi and maintain harmony within the body.

​

TCM believes that imbalances in Qi can lead to physical or emotional health issues. To restore balance, various therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary adjustments are used. It is a completely natural approach to healthcare, emphasising the body's innate healing abilities to support overall wellness.

​

In essence, TCM works by promoting the free and balanced circulation of Qi throughout the body, allowing it to function optimally and maintain overall well-being. This ancient system of medicine continues to be valued for its holistic approach to health, focusing on prevention as well as treatment.
