Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) refers to a broad range of medicine practices sharing common theoretical concepts which have been developed in China and look back on a tradition of more than 5000 years; including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (TuiNa), and dietary therapy. These practices are a common part of medical care throughout East Asia, but are considered alternative medicine in the western world.

TCM looks at the body as a whole system, with each aspect affecting the function of the other. Theoretical concepts of balancing yin and yang, along with the five phases (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood) are used in TCM practice to regulate the body, mind and bring them back into balance. When a system is not functioning properly herbal medicine, acupuncture and other Chinese modalities work to redirect the body's energy to a higher functioning level or to bring the system back into homeostasis.

Chinese practitioners use differential pattern diagnosis to determine the appropriate route of treatment along with analysis of tongue and pulse of the patient, which directly reflect internal functioning of the body. This holistic approach takes dietary intake, emotional well-being and environmental conditions into serious consideration as well.  The body is composed of multiple layers of energetic meridians, with acupuncture points along them that are directly related to internal organs and bodily functions.  When an organ or system is malfunctioning or has become pathogenic, TCM can be used to redirect energy and dissipate the pathogen.

As some of these claims may seem foreign to a conventional western patient, my best advice is to try it out.  It is extremely safe, cost effective and can be life changing. Once you witness the power of Chinese Medicine you will be a patient for life.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, medical treatment is the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer in the United States. Traditional Chinese Medicine is an example of possible alternative approaches to disease that does not treat the illness as an enemy or mask the symptoms and therefore does not create new symptoms or diseases.
