传统中医, or traditional Chinese medicine, is a holistic approach to health that has been practiced for thousands of years. It emphasizes the balance of the body's vital energies, known as 气 (qi), and the harmony between the body and its environment. Common practices include 针灸 (acupuncture), 草药 (herbal medicine), and 推拿 (tuina), which aim to restore health and prevent illness. In traditional Chinese medicine, the diagnosis often involves observing the patient's tongue and pulse, as well as understanding their lifestyle and emotions. Treatments are tailored to the individual's unique condition, focusing on restoring balance rather than merely alleviating symptoms. This approach reflects a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.
