Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was developed more than 2,500 years ago as a system for studying human physiology and pathology, as well as for preventing, diagnosing, and treating illnesses. The most common TCM practices include herbal and nutritional therapy, restorative physical exercises (qigong), meditation, acupuncture (stimulating specific points of the body using various techniques), remedial massage (tuina), moxibustion (applying heat to acupuncture points by burning herbs above the skin’s surface) and tai chi (dance-like body movements combined with coordinated breathing and mental focus).
