Traditional Chinese
Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient holistic healing system originating in China thousands of years ago. Developed through observation, experimentation, and accumulated knowledge, TCM’s foundations were laid down in texts like the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon) and the Shennong Ben Cao Jing (Shennong’s Classic of Herbal Medicine). Over centuries, TCM evolved, integrating concepts of Yin and Yang, Qi, and the Five Elements. It spread throughout East Asia and, in the 20th century, became an integral part of China’s healthcare system. Today, TCM continues to be practiced worldwide, attracting interest in alternative and complementary approaches to health.
Acupuncture Treatment
Acupuncture is one of the key components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is a holistic system of medicine that originated in China over 2,000 years ago. TCM views the body as a complex network of interconnected systems and functions, and aims to restore balance and harmony to the body by treating the underlying root causes of illness, rather than just the symptoms.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to stimulate the flow of Qi (life force energy) along channels or meridians in the body. The concept of Qi is central to TCM, and is believed to be the vital force that animates and sustains all living things.
Cupping
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that is commonly used as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. The cups can be made of various materials, such as glass, bamboo, or silicone.
During a cupping session, the cups are heated or pumped with air to create a vacuum and then placed on specific areas of the body. As the cups cool or the air inside them is removed, they create suction, which draws the skin and underlying tissues into the cup.
