Traditional Chinese Medicine

Rooted in thousands of years of practice, Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic system of health care that views the body, mind, and spirit as interconnected.

TCM is based on the concept of Qi (pronounced “chee”) — the vital energy that flows through pathways in the body known as meridians.

When Qi becomes blocked or unbalanced, illness, discomfort, and stress may arise. When Qi flows smoothly, the body is in a state of balance.

Traditional Chinese Medicine can help with:

  • Pain relief for chronic and acute conditions

  • Stress, anxiety, depression, and fatigue management

  • Improved sleep by addressing insomnia and other sleep disorders

  • Digestive Health, including: stomach pain or fullness, abdominal pain or bloating, general digestive disorders

  • Women’s Health Support, including: painful menstruation, period cramps, fertility support, and hormonal balance

How Traditional Chinese Medicine Works

Traditional Chinese Medicine restores health through targeted therapies that support the body’s natural healing. These treatments work together to correct imbalances, improve circulation, and enhance overall wellness.

TCM uses a combination of methods to support this balance:

  • Acupuncture — precise needle stimulation at specific points to influence energy flow

  • Herbal Medicine — tailored formulas to strengthen organs and restore vitality

  • Cupping & Moxibustion — techniques that improve circulation and release tension

  • Dietary & Lifestyle Guidance — recommendations that complement treatment and maintain long-term balance

By focusing on restoring energy flow and supporting the body’s natural regulatory systems, TCM addresses the root cause of imbalances rather than only treating symptoms. Explore our Traditional Chinese Medicine Case Studies to discover how TCM restores and maintains balance.
