traditional Korean medicine
Traditional Korean medicine (TKM) is a holistic healthcare system that has been practiced in Korea for thousands of years. It emphasizes the balance of the body, mind, and spirit, using natural remedies and therapies to promote health and prevent illness. Key components include herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion, which are tailored to individual needs.
TKM is based on the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, which explain the interactions between the body and the environment. Practitioners assess a person's condition through methods like pulse diagnosis and observation, aiming to restore harmony and improve overall well-being.
