Traditional Chinese medicine encompasses a complete medical procedure that has been in practice for more than five thousand years. It is a holistic medical practice that utilizes the laws and powers of nature, for the wholesome treatment of human beings.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) takes into account every aspect of a person; it concentrates on the development and treatment of the body, the mind, emotions,and the spirit. TCM is founded on the bases of five natural elements which are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water; it is also founded on the concept of ‘Yin-Yang’.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been known to offer many benefits to people who use it. One of the main benefits of TCM is the fact that it offers a completely natural treatment as opposed to Western medicine which is made of chemicals, and known to leave chemical residues on the body which sometimes help develops disease-resistance to the drug itself.
TCM also offers complete medical solutions. Unlike Western medicine which often treats only the symptoms of an illness, traditional Chinese medicine aims to treat the source of the illness, thereby providing a more comprehensive solution for both the body and the mind.
It however goes without saying that traditional Chinese medicine should be only be administered by a skilled, experienced, and qualified person.
