What is Traditional Chinese Medicine? (TCM)

The existence of Chinese Medicine can be traced as far back as 3000 yrs ago. At that time there were no X-ray or laboratory tests available to make diagnosis. Practitioners had to rely only on their observations, using all of their senses they would examine for odours, sounds of breath and talk, feel wrist pulse and look at the condition of the tongue to discover the nature of a disorder.

The concepts of Yin 阴 and Yang 阳 as positive and negative components, vital energy of Qi 气 and meridians or channel systems were all used in Chinese Medicine. The Yin and Yang imbalance, vital Qi malfunction, meridians or channels blockage all give rise to various illnesses.

Chinese Medicine can maintain health and treat illness with use of acupuncture,acupressure, and herbal medicines. It also may employ cupping, Gua Sha (scraping), heat compression, Qigong etc.
