Chinese Herbal MedicineChinese herbal medicine, also known as TCM covers a whole range of practises that have been developed over thousands of years.There has been a surge of interest in Chinese medicine in recent years, which has resulted in Chinese Herbalists springing up on almost every high street in the UK.The theory behind TCM is that the body needs to be in balance in order to maintain optimum health. The balance of yin and yang (male and female energy) is vital to healthy chi and therefore good health, and lines of energy called meridians connect everything in the body.Branches of Chinese medicine include herbal medicine and acupuncture as well as dietary therapy, exercise and lifestyle management.Herbs are used to treat conditions such as skin problems, stress, allergies, digestive disorders, respiratory problems etc….Whilst the herbal concoctions may taste a little unusual, they have not been found to have any harmful effects.
