Traditional Chinese Medicine- TCM

TCM is a practiced of natural medicine that has a history of over 2000 years. The practice of TCM includes acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, Tui Na, moxibustion, Qi gong and Tai Ji exercises. 

The basic philosophy of TCM is balance. We believe that in order for an individual to be healthy, happy and well there should be a balance of Qi or the energy or life force. 

Qi is a unquantifiable substance that exists in all living things. Qi should be flowing abundantly and without hindrance.  However due to effects of external as well as internal stress Qi gets disrupted. 

When Qi is obstructed , disturbed or weaken it will manifest in different ways. Depending on where and how  the Qi is affected,symptoms will manifest itself physiologically and/ or emotionally.

TCM treatments works on calming the symptoms but more importantly is the focus on the root cause. When the root cause is addressed the progressive relief achieved will be permanent.
