    holistic health system balancing body's energy through various practices

    Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic system of health care that has been practiced in China for thousands of years. It includes various practices such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, and qigong, and is based on the concept of balancing the body's vital energy, or "qi," through the principles of yin and yang and the five elements. TCM aims to treat the root cause of ailments rather than just the symptoms, and it is often used in conjunction with modern medical treatments.
