About Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic therapy that has been originated and used in China for more than 3,000 years.

Today it’s an integral part of wellbeing in the Western society and the World Health Organisation recognises that more than 100 conditions can be helped by TCM!

TCM theory is based upon the principles of Yin and Yang, opposite forces that work together to maintain balance and harmony. When Yin and Yang are harmonised, there will be a natural flow of motivating energy moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin throughout the body, known as Qi.

In contrast, when Yin and Yang are not harmonised there will be impairment in the natural flow of Qi and disease and illness can occur. Environmental influences, physical or emotional trauma, unexpressed anger, frustration, grief, worry and depression all can disrupt the natural balance of Yin and Yang.

The study and practice of TCM brings together traditional and modern views of health, eastern and western approaches, and provides an opportunity to participate in one of the truly remarkable achievements of mankind. TCM has served over a quarter of the world's population for thousands of years and repeated clinical tests have proven its effectiveness in fighting many diseases.
