Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a unique healing system with a diagnostic system that has been refined and validated by hundreds of generations over thousands of years.
The main advantage of this system, based on the unified philosophical concept of Taoism, is its ability to prevent the development of diseases by balancing the two opposing components in the body (yin and yang), thus aiming to achieve the necessary balance and harmony.
The theory of yin-yang transformations permeates the entire study of traditional Chinese medicine. It explains the organic structure and parts of the human body (upper and lower limbs, back and abdomen, skin, tendons and bones, organs, qi, and blood), physiological functions (flow and transformation of energy), and pathological changes (the onset of diseases). Diagnosis is guided by this theory.
Healing According to Traditional Chinese Medicine
Chinese diagnosis does not differ significantly from the diagnosis in traditional Tibetan medicine. The basic methods include listening, observation, questioning, tongue diagnosis, and pulse diagnosis. The results of these methods lead to the determination of the diagnosis and the establishment of therapy.
The main treatment methods in TCM are phytotherapy (herbal treatment), acupuncture, massage, exercise, and dietetics.
