About Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):
TCM is an ancient medical system that has been practised in China for thousands of years. It includes acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. TCM holds the view that the human body is a holistic organism in and of itself, and as part of the universe. The condition of the whole body (body, mind, spirit) as well as the effects of nature (seasons, weather, environment, geographic factors) are all considered when making a TCM diagnosis and establishing the principles of treatment. Therefore, the treatment given to each person is individualized. Although TCM is an old form of traditional medicine, it has been successfully integrated with modern medicine in China over the last forty years. A lot of research work has been done since then. The results have strongly suggested the great value of and potential for TCM to augment the effects of modern medicine in promoting health.
