What you'll experience
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive medical system developed over thousands of years in China. TCM views the body as an integrated whole where qi (vital energy) flows through meridian pathways, and health depends on the balance of opposing forces (yin and yang). Disease results from blockages in qi flow or imbalances between yin and yang.
TCM diagnosis involves assessing tongue, pulse, symptoms, and overall patterns to identify the underlying imbalance. Treatment combines acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, cupping, moxibustion, tui na (massage), and qigong. The approach is highly individualized—two people with the same Western diagnosis may receive different TCM treatments based on their unique pattern of imbalance.
TCM is used for chronic pain, digestive disorders, respiratory issues, gynecological conditions, anxiety, insomnia, and many other health concerns. It excels at treating conditions conventional medicine struggles with and provides a complementary perspective on health and disease. TCM is increasingly integrated into Western medical settings.

TCM has thousands of years of traditional use and growing modern research support. Acupuncture has extensive evidence for pain and other conditions. Chinese herbal medicine has demonstrated benefits in clinical studies. When practiced by licensed TCM practitioners (L.Ac. or OMD), it's generally safe. Quality of herbal products is important.
