What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practiced in China for thousands of years, making it rich in history and experience. It is a holistic approach officially recognized by the Chinese government and practiced in private clinics and hospitals alike. TCM includes several disciplines: acupuncture, herbal medicine, tuina, dietetics, and Qi Gong. In China, all these practices work together to support overall health. In Europe, herbal medicine has evolved into what is now often called phyto-nutrition.
The term Tuina means “to push” or “to grasp.” While you may often see “Tuina massage” mentioned online, it primarily refers to the manual therapy aspect of TCM, which also incorporates techniques such as An Mo (meaning “massage” in Chinese), cupping, moxibustion, and more.
