What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of healing that’s been used for thousands of years. It’s based on finding balance in the body. TCM’s underlying principles and approach to health are different from Western medicine.
There are five basic constitutional types, based on the five Chinese elements: water, wood, fire, earth and metal. Balancing these is key to maintaining good health. Understanding your basic element or constitutional type is of primary importance when using Chinese herbs and medicine. Chinese constitutional herbology refers to one’s basic nature. It involves lifelong tendencies toward certain preferences and taste.
