Chinese Medicine, also referred to as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or Oriental Medicine, is an ancient health and healing system that is as relevant today, as it was thousands of years ago. TCM care is helpful in a huge variety of conditions ranging from aches and pains, stress management and hormone disorders to digestive problems, cosmetic and anti-aging and even pediatric illnesses.

TCM originated from Asian countries about 2400 years ago. There was no formal medical system back then and the ancient Chinese wanted to stay healthy and prevent disease, because in most cases, disease equaled death. The medical providers refined medicine and therapies over thousands of years by researching and experimenting with physical therapies, herbs, foods and exercises. These wise medical providers passed their knowledge on to family heirs to continue using and refining the medicine. Chinese Medicine has proven itself over thousands of years to be very effective, as well as natural and holistic.
