中医, or Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a holistic approach to health that has been practiced for thousands of years in China. It emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang and the flow of Qi (vital energy) within the body. Treatments often include herbal medicine, acupuncture, and dietary therapy, aiming to restore harmony and promote overall well-being. The principles of 中医 are based on the belief that health is a state of balance between the body, mind, and environment. Practitioners assess a person's condition through methods like pulse diagnosis and tongue examination, tailoring treatments to individual needs to support natural healing processes.
