Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine (or Traditional Chinese Medicine) is a healing approach that dates back thousands of years. In China, traditional medicine is practiced alongside modern medicine; yet in the Western Hemisphere, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is considered “alternative medicine.” TCM operates on the basis that all the body’s organs support and influence each other. Diseases and emotional, physical, and mental disorders can be traced to imbalances within the body. TCM, which includes acupuncture, seeks to bring balance back to the body through physical techniques and herbal formulas..
