Traditional Chinese Medicine
The goal of Chinese medicine is to simply restore balance. Chinese medicine does not treat disease, it treats individuals whose imbalances manifest in certain processes as the body
attempts to regain balance.
Illness is seen as an imbalance between internal influences such as diet, exercise, rest, and emotions; and external factors such as weather, trauma, microbes or poisons. Health is the
state of being in balance in body, mind and spirit.
