Virtue is the precision of health in perfect timinG.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive system of medicine that has been developed and practiced in China for thousands of years. It is based on Taoism and a holistic approach to health and well-being, emphasizing the balance and harmony between the body, mind, and spirit. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body.
TCM encompasses various practices and modalities, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, massage (Tui Na), exercise (Qigong), and lifestyle adjustments. The underlying principles of TCM are rooted in the concept of Qi (pronounced "chee"), which refers to the vital energy that flows through the body's meridians or energy pathways.
