Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dates its origins back to 2,000 to 3,000 years of history and is characterized by its holistic approach. It deals not only with the anatomical and physiological side of the disease, but also with the psychology.
In TCM, the understanding of the human body is based on the Taoist concept of the Universe, which is based on the theory of Yin and Yang and the five elements. Among the classic therapies of traditional Chinese medicine are acupuncture, herbal treatment and qigong exercises.
TCM is the most well-known healing system that can be an alternative to Western biomedical procedures.
