Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an alternative health care approach originated in ancient China and based on several thousand years of experience and tradition. The most common forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine are acupuncture, remedial massage (tuina), and Chinese herbal medicine. Practitioners in this field perform a variety of mind and body practices to treat and prevent health problems.
The main principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine relies on improving the harmony and life balance of individuals to maintain and restore their good health. The first stage of this traditional health care is to assess the fundamental symptoms of disease and determine how the individual became ill. Chinese medicine focuses on curing the roots of illness, not only the symptoms. Therefore, finding the underlying conditions before treating the current symptoms is highly important for TCM practitioners.
With more than 15,000 Chinese Medicine Doctors in Canada and the United States currently helping patients with complementing their health care, there are about 100,000 TCM Practitioners around the globe.
