Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healthcare system that has been practiced for thousands of years, focusing on restoring balance within the body by addressing the root causes of illness rather than just the symptoms.

TCM is based on the concepts of Qi (vital energy), Yin-Yang balance, and the Five Elements. It uses techniques like acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, and tui na massage to promote the body’s natural healing processes and achieve harmony.

People turn to TCM for its personalized, whole-person approach to health. It’s often sought for managing chronic conditions, improving fertility, enhancing skin health, reducing stress, and supporting overall wellness.

TCM can address a wide range of symptoms, including pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, anxiety, infertility, skin concerns, and side effects from cancer treatments.

A typical TCM appointment includes a consultation to assess the patient’s symptoms and TCM pattern. Treatments often integrate acupuncture with modalities like cupping, gua sha, tui na massage, and LED light therapy. Herbal formulas are prescribed based on the patient’s current symptoms to support their healing and balance
