Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dates back to the 21st Century BC. In these ancient times, people came to realise that some plants and animal parts had dramatic effects when consumed by humans. Four thousand years ago the Chinese Emperor Shen Nong devoted himself to the development of agriculture and discovered many plants with pharmacological properties.
In the intervening years, it has been painstakingly researched and extensively practised. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a truly natural form of healing power, aimed at treatment of the whole body, rather than just the symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine is the oldest and most natural form of medical care known to mankind. It includes acupuncture, herbal therapies and massage treatments, used in isolation and combination.
