TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine, also sometimes abbreviated as TCM, is a form of Medicine which has been developed and practiced in China over the course of millennia. Fundamentally, TCM is about striking a balance between Yin and Yang, and it is believed that medical problems stem from an imbalance in these elements which must be corrected. The concepts which come together to create traditional Chinese medicine are incredibly complex, but all of them include the fundamental idea that an animal’s body needs to have a balance of energy, or it will be unhealthy. Traditional Chinese Medicine views the body as an integrated whole, rather than an assortment of parts which must be treated individually, and it also includes preventative medicine which is designed to prevent the body from suffering from illness.
