Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Traditional medicine (TCM) is a medical system with a long history and profound cultural heritage. It originated in China and has a history of thousands of years. It mainly regulates the balance of yin and yang in the human body to achieve the purpose of treating diseases and maintaining health. The core concept of TCM is to emphasize the overall concept of the human body, believing that the human body is a whole that interacts with the environment, and that there are close connections between various internal organs, systems and tissues. Therefore, when treating diseases, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the patient's overall condition to achieve the best treatment effect. The theoretical basis of TCM mainly includes the following aspects:

1. The five internal organs theory: TCM believes that there are five internal organs in the human body, namely the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. Each organ has its own specific function and is closely related to other organs. When treating diseases, it is necessary to regulate the five internal organs to achieve the purpose of treating the disease.

2. Yin and Yang theory: TCM believes that yin and yang are the most basic concepts inside the human body, and the balance of yin and yang is the basis of human health. When yin and yang are out of balance, disease can occur. Therefore, when treating diseases, it is necessary to adjust the balance of yin and yang to achieve the purpose of treating the disease.

3. Five Elements Theory: TCM believes that the Five Elements are the specific embodiment of Yin and Yang, which are metal, wood, water, fire and earth. The Five Elements Theory believes that different Five Elements have different effects on the human body. When treating diseases, it is necessary to adjust the five elements to achieve the purpose of treating the disease.

The treatment methods of TCM include traditional Chinese medicine treatment, acupuncture treatment, massage treatment, Qigong treatment and other forms. Among them, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is the most commonly used treatment method for TCM. It is made from decoction of Chinese herbal medicine and has the advantages of being mild, safe, and less prone to side effects. Acupuncture treatment uses acupuncture at acupuncture points on the human body to adjust the balance of yin and yang in the human body to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Massage therapy is to massage the human body to promote the circulation of qi and blood to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Qigong therapy achieves the purpose of treating diseases by regulating breathing and body posture.

TCM has unique advantages in preventing and treating diseases. TCM emphasizes comprehensive treatment and focuses on regulating the overall balance of the human body. The treatment effect is obvious and it is not prone to side effects. In addition, TCM treatment is low-cost and widely used in primary medical institutions and families.

In short, traditional medicine (TCM) is a medical system with a long history and profound cultural heritage. It regulates the balance of yin and yang in the human body to treat diseases and maintain health.
