Traditional Chinese Medicine is a medicine system that is over 5000 years old and has been

Yin Yang and five elements (Gold – Wood – Water – Fire – Earth) theories, and the diagnosis
and treatment of TCM can normally be performed on one’s Structure (physical) level, Qi
(energy) level and Spirit level. The goal of TCM doctors is to balance the Yin and Yang, and
let patient’s body function resume by regaining its natural ability to perform all the major
activities, such as digesting food and water, pass bowel and urine, and having good quality
sleep.
