What is Traditional Chinese Medicine ?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC) is a holistic healthcare system based on the vital energy known as ‘Qi‘. It views the human being as a whole and aims to restore harmony between the body and mind.
Over 5000 years old, it is a comprehensive healthcare system influenced by Taoismand Confucianism.
It consists of four fundamental branches :
Massages
Based on several gentle or firm manipulations aimed at harmonizing Qi
Acupuncture (with moxibustion)
Technique involving the insertion and manipulation of needles at points located along the meridians
The pharmacopoeia
Prescription of medicinal herbs
Dietetics
Nutrition tailored to each individual’s needs based on their sensitivity to different foods
We can add to this :
Qi Gong
For daily movement practice, which helps to prevent many ‘blockages’
