 Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM, is a holistic health care system developed in China to treat disease, prevent illness, and promote well-being. It has been developed and refined over thousands of years. It incorporates Acupuncture, Herbs, Moxibustion, Diet therapy, and Tuina massage to treat acute and chronic conditions, while assisting individuals to find balance in their lives.
 

 

The major premise of Chinese medical theory is that all the form of life in the universe are animated by an essential life force or vital energy called "Qi" (pronounced "Chee"). Acupuncture, supplemented by herbal and nutritional therapy and massage, are used to restore Qi and thus harmony to the body.

 

Yin-Yang are Symbols of opposite forces. Yin is within Yang and Yang is within Yin.  Everything contains Yin and Yang. When Yin and Yang are balanced there is health.

Yang is light, is warmth, is flowing, is Qi, and is man.  Yin is dark,  is cool,  is solid, is blood, and is woman.  One cannot exist without the other.
