Traditional Chinese Medicine’s (TCM) greatest strength is its holistic approach to balancing the whole body. Whereas Western medicine uses narrowly defined specialties to treat one symptom at a time, TCM is focused on the relationships among all the body’s systems. A TCM practioner first identifies the underlying disharmony and then formulates a customized treatment to bring an individual’s unique constitution into balance. It treats the “root” cause to improve the “branch” ailments.

Over the past 2000+ years, TCM has continuously refined a sophisticated theoretical framework to diagnose and treat the whole body. Unlike pharmaceuticals that isolate a single compound to treat a single symptom, TCM individualizes a formula of whole herbs to gently rebalance the body. As a result, herbal formulas offer virtually no negative side effects. Patients often report positive side effects such as better sleep or an energized feeling of well being.
