How does Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) help treat chronic diseases?

TCM is based on the concept of “energy balance” within the body. It is believed that diseases arise from an imbalance in the flow of Qi (energy).

Treatment for chronic diseases in TCM includes acupuncture, herbal remedies, moxibustion, cupping, and bee stings to stimulate self-healing.

Medical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of acupuncture in relieving migraines and arthritis without the need for chemical medications.
