Chinese medicine is a system of medicine based on the idea that an energy, called qi, flows along pathways in the body called meridians. In this belief, if the flow of qi along these meridians is blocked or unbalanced, illness can occur. Qi becomes blocked from emotional trauma, seasonal changes, diet, accidents, stress, overwork etc.

In China, doctors have practiced Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and it is gaining in popularity in many Western countries. The best way to learn and know Qi is to experience it personally through QiGong, Tai Qi, meditation, acupuncture etc.

Over 23 centuries years old, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has formed a unique system to diagnose and cure illness as recorded in earliest known saved medicine book Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor’s classic).  The TCM approach is fundamentally different from that of Western medicine because it is based on the entire body working together and with nature, the holistic understanding of the universe as described in Daoism.
