The most common questions and concerns of our clients

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
Mind-Body-Energy Balance: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient therapeutic system that aims to harmonize the body, mind, and emotions. It employs techniques such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, and Tui Na massage. These techniques are combined to address not only symptoms but also the underlying causes of imbalances and syndromes (a set of symptoms).

How is diagnosis performed in TCM?
Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on a comprehensive health assessment that considers both the physical and emotional aspects of the patient. Through tools such as pulse analysis, tongue observation, and a detailed clinical interview, patterns of imbalance affecting overall well-being are identified. In TCM, syndromes are understood as a set of signs and symptoms that reflect an imbalance in the flow of Qi (vital energy), in the Yin and Yang elements, or in the body fluids. These imbalances can manifest as deficiencies, excesses, or blockages that affect the function of organs and systems. Additionally, emotional and environmental factors that may influence health are considered. This approach allows for identifying the root of health problems and developing a personalized treatment aimed at restoring balance and promoting recovery.
