Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient healing system that recognize the relationship between body and mind as integrated process.
TCM is a complete medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses for more than 2,000 years, it is based on a belief in yin and yang, defined as opposing energies, such as earth and heaven, winter and summer, and happiness and sadness.
When yin and yang are in balance, you feel relaxed and energized. Out of balance, however, yin and yang negatively affect your health.
The basis of TCM is the evidence that good health depends on the restoration and maintenance of harmony and balance by increasing the body’s own healing abilities.
In TCM, different aspects of life including our mental and emotional state, our diet and lifestyle, and our environment are considered equally important for a person’s wellbeing.
While modern Western medicine views body and mind as separate entities (therefore treating diseases with specific drugs and searching to eliminate offending micro-organisms from our bodies), Chinese medicine uses natural approaches to rebalance our whole being, never separating out the mind and body from the environment.

According to TCM, all our organs and vital body functions interact in a single continuum, each one influencing, restraining, and controlling each other.
The objective of TCM treatment is to balance yin and yang by promoting the natural flow of qi which is described as the wind in a sail.
