About Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practiced in China for over 3,000
years. It has long been considered the medicine of the layman, because it treats the
individual, not only the ailment. TCM takes a “root” and “branch” approach to health, in that true healing cannot take place until both the root of the disharmony and the branch are treated simultaneously. These concepts are taken from the Taoist philosophy that harmony and balance are elemental to the natural order of life and thus, health.
