TCM - A medical system that has been used to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease for thousands of years. It is based on the belief that Qi (the body's life force energy) flows along meridians (channels) in the body and keeps a person's spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health in balance. TCM aims to restore the body's balance and harmony between the natural opposing forces of yin and yang, which can block qi and cause disease. TCM includes acupuncture, nutrition, herbal therapy, meditation, physical exercise and massage. Also called Oriental Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine
