Traditional Chinese Acupuncture Course - Basic

     TCM stands for Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a system of medicine with a long historical and cultural background that has been developed in India and China. It is based on the principle that good health is achieved by maintaining a balance between the opposing forces of yin and yang, which are believed to be the fundamental characteristics of the universe.

     TCM uses a holistic approach to healing, considering a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is based on the belief that the body has the innate ability to heal itself and that illness is caused by an imbalance in the body’s vital energy, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”).

The Main modalities in TCM include:

• Acupuncture: The insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to balance the flow of Qi
• Herbal medicine: The use of plants, minerals, and animal products to promote healing
• Massage: Manipulation of the soft tissues to balance the flow of Qi and improve circulation
• Exercise: Qigong and Tai Chi are traditional Chinese exercises that are believed to balance the flow of Qi and promote overall health
• Diet therapy: the use of food to maintain the balance of the body and to prevent and treat illness.
