TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive system of healthcare that has been practiced in China for thousands of years. It encompasses various practices and therapies aimed at restoring and maintaining health by balancing the body's energy flow, known as Qi. Here are the key components and principles of TCM:

Qi (Chi):

  • Qi is the vital life force that flows through the body, energizing organs and tissues.

  • Maintaining the smooth and balanced flow of Qi is essential for health.

Five Elements Theory:

  • The Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) correspond to different organs and physiological processes.

  • Each element is interrelated and can influence others, playing a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment.

Zang-Fu Theory:

  • This theory focuses on the function and interrelationship of the body’s internal organs. Herbs are used to support and harmonize these organs to promote health.

Yin and Yang:

  • Yin and Yang represent opposite but complementary forces that exist in harmony.

  • Health is achieved when there is a balance between Yin (cool, passive, feminine) and Yang (warm, active, masculine) in the body.

Meridians and Acupoints:

  • The body has a network of meridians (channels) through which Qi flows.

  • Acupoints are specific locations on these meridians that can be stimulated to influence the flow of Qi and promote healing.
