What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive healthcare system that has been practiced for over 3,000 years. It views the body as an interconnected whole, focusing on maintaining harmony and balance within the body's systems.
TCM practitioners like Mrs. Qian Chen use various techniques including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and lifestyle guidance to restore balance and promote the body's natural healing abilities.
Unlike Western medicine which focuses on specific symptoms, TCM addresses the root causes of illness by identifying and correcting imbalances in the body's energy (Qi) flow.

Core Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Understanding the fundamental concepts that guide TCM diagnosis and treatment approaches
Qi (Life Energy)
Qi is the vital energy that flows through the body's meridian pathways. When Qi flows freely, the body maintains health. Blockages or imbalances in Qi flow can lead to illness and discomfort.
Yin and Yang Balance
Yin and Yang represent opposite but complementary forces in the body. Health is maintained when these forces are in dynamic balance. Illness occurs when one dominates the other.
Five Element Theory
The five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) correspond to different organ systems and emotional states. This theory helps diagnose imbalances and guide treatment strategies.
Meridian System
Meridians are energy pathways that connect all parts of the body. Acupuncture points along these meridians can be stimulated to restore proper energy flow and promote healing.
