Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the earliest forms of treatment, being around for many centuries. Many believe that it dates back from Ancient Chinese about 3000 to 4000 years ago. TCM has been used to prevent, diagnose, and treat certain ailments.
The aim of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to help balance the energy flow inside the body. It anchors on the belief that ‘qi’ or the vital energy should flow properly along the meridians. A balanced flow of energy is what helps in the overall well-being of a person. It results in better physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
TCM restores the body’s balance and harmony of the two opposing forces of ‘yin’ and ‘yang.’
An imbalanced ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ blocks the ‘qi.’ This state is believed to be causing diseases or sicknesses.
Hence, there are various forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine. TCM aims to restore the balance. These are acupuncture, proper diet, Chinese herbs, meditation, physical exercise, and Chinese massage. All these form part of Oriental or Eastern Medicine. This form of treatment is now also becoming popular in Australia.
