and treat disease.

TCM View of Health

TCM is based on the belief that the body's vital energy, called qi (pronounced chee), flows through meridians or channels) in the body
and keeps a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health
in balance.

TCM aims to restore the body’s balance and harmony between the naturally opposing forces of yin and yang, which are said to block qi
and cause disease or illness.

TCM is sometimes called Oriental medicine.
