Introduction
TCM. A medical system that has been used for thousands of years to prevent,diagnose,and treat disease.It is based on the belief that qi(the body's vital energy) flows along 20meridians (channels)throughout 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 natural opposing forces of yin and yang,which can block qi and cause disease.
