Complementary Medicine and TCM
Chinese medicine can benefit everyone, no matter which path is chosen to achieve health. Herbal therapies, acupuncture and special forms of meditation, such as Qigong and Taiji are often used to alleviate side effects of Western treatments. Chinese medicine is also used by many as a main outlet for maintaining health. While there are many techniques associated with Chinese medicine, the reasoning behind each is the same.
All of Chinese medicine is based on two guiding principles:
1. When the body is in balance, disease cannot enter.
2. Everything is energy. Energy can be used for healing.
