Before we dive into the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we must take a quick look into its origins to understand it better.
The History of Traditional Chinese Medicine
TCM first appeared in China more than 2,500 years ago.
The key to healing lies within you
Through careful observation of nature, the universe, and the human body, ancient scholars discovered the key to healing lies within an invisible life-force energy that governs all of life. This invisible energy, also known as "Qi," permeates all living things, from the water flowing gently downstream, to the crane soaring above the mountains, to you.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is rapidly gaining popularity in the West… and for good reason. Using TCM as a support system, everyday people are healing themselveswithout over-using medications or over-relying on "doctors' orders."
There are many principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but the main one you should know this: Your body knows how to heal itself naturally.
The goal of the practice is to simply give your body a gentle "nudge" toward healing. And how do we give it this nudge? By balancing the life-force energy (“Qi”) within.
Most problems arise from an imbalance of Qi in specific areas of the body. Balancing your Qi is the key to unlocking your healing potential.
But how do you balance your Qi and heal your body naturally? There are five core practices you need to know about that help with exactly that.
