Traditional Chinese medicine comprises a broad range of medicinal practices sharing common concepts, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (Tui na), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy. Modern Chinese medicine has combined modern anatomy and physiology concepts with traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment.
Developed in China and based on a tradition of more than 5,000 years, Chinese medicine is one of the oldest documented alternative therapies available in the modern world. Based on the philosophy that illness is the consequence of an imbalance of forces, Chinese medicine aims to restore the patient's healthy balance. Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine rooted in the belief that all illnesses, aches, and pains are caused by energy imbalance or stagnation. This is known as Chi (Qi), and terms like meridian are tossed for describing energy's natural flow. Through approximately 350 acupuncture points on the body, these energy flows are accessible by inserting long, thin needles with appropriate combinations to bring them to the correct paths and promote healing.
