Traditional Chinese Medicine

The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes a range of traditional medicine practices originating in China throughout its millenarian cultural evolution. The main medical theoretical foundations of the MTC are based on this long experience, and is reflected in the theory of " yin-yang" and others, like the theory of " five elements". The treatments become in reference to this philosophical frame.

This medicine is based on the concept of balanced Qi (chi or vital energy), which runs through the person's body. There are different types of Qi that interact with each other and whose harmony represents health. Those who practice this medicine propose that Qi regulates the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical balance and is affected by the forces opposite of yin and yang.

The primary target of the Chinese medicine is to prevent and, when it is necessary to cure, to do it with natural methods directed to fortify the capacity of recovering of the patient. According to the MTC, the disease happens when the flow of the Qi is altered and a imbalance of yin and yang takes place.
