Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a medical framework which has been used as a form of primary health care in China for thousands of years and incorporates acupuncture, herbal medicine, Tui-na (Chinese massage), diet and lifestyle advice.
The basic principle of TCM is the wholistic concept that good health relies on the restoration and maintenance of harmony and balance in the body.
