Traditional Chinese Medicine: balance your energy, strengthen your health, and restore your well-being
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has an autonomous concept of health and disease.
The essence of life is Qi, the “force” or “energy” that flows through an organism and keeps it alive. Qi has two opposite poles called yin and yang. Yin refers to the feminine, cold, and dark aspects, while yang represents the masculine, warm, and bright. They are opposites, yet they complement each other: one cannot exist without the other.
Health and well-being are understood as the balance between yin and yang in the body. Illness arises when this balance is disturbed, which may have many causes: stress, external influences, lack of exercise, or an unhealthy diet.
Acupuncture, for example, helps restore the normal balance of Yin and Yang and ensures the free flow of Qi throughout the body. By inserting needles into specific points along the meridians—the main channels through which energy flows—it is possible to correct a stagnation or deficiency of Qi.
