Korean Traditional Medicine (KTM) is a holistic healthcare system that has been practiced in Korea for thousands of years. It emphasizes the balance of the body's energy, known as Qi, and focuses on treating the root causes of illness rather than just the symptoms. Common practices include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and moxibustion, which involves burning a herb near the skin to promote healing. KTM is based on the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, which represent different aspects of health and nature. Practitioners assess a person's condition through methods like pulse diagnosis and tongue examination, aiming to restore harmony and improve overall well-being.
