Acupuncture - What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)/Acupuncture is a complete system of healing that developed in China about 3000 years ago, and has changed very little over the centuries. It's based on the idea that laws of nature can be used to understand the inner workings of the body.
Imbalance between any of the organs can cause a blockage in the flow of your chi or vital energy traveling through your body along invisible pathways known as meridian. TCM practitioners typically use acupuncture and herbs to help unblock your chi and bring your body back into harmony and wellness.
