Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Methods
The meridians, channels, and collaterals of TCM theories show a connection to all the different organs and tissues. The body's vital energy (Qi) and blood are circulated inside these meridians, channels, and collaterals. Through meridians, the pathways, the qi and blood are transported to nourish organs and tissues. Normal functioning of various organs is thus ensured and a relative equilibrium maintained, therefore, a person's healthy body maintained. The health of the human body is also effected by the world around it, and the body's' survival relies on and is greatly influenced by nature environment. The body will adapt to the change of the natural world, otherwise the normal equilibrium will be unbalanced. The lack of adaptation of the body will result in signals of uncomfortable feelings that can progress to diseases or in the extreme the loss of the body's ability to survive will occur.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is a summary of the experience of the Chinese people's struggle against disease for thousands of years. It has been tested and proved by billions of patients. Vast knowledge and experience has been accumulated in prevention and control of disease and related problems. It is invaluable for its rich practical knowledge and experience and as a unique, integrated, theoretical health care system. This system has been established since ancient times. In the past decades, a resurgence of this Chinese health care art has come through the "Bamboo Curtain". A great deal of interest has been generated by its theories and practices. Now Traditional Chinese Medicine is highly regarded by the international community. The United Nations' World Health Organization recommends it, to the world, as a primary health care system. 
TCM, as a Chinese science and culture, is totally different from that of modern western medicine. Each organ and tissue, in TCM, not only is the anatomical entity but also is the generalization of the physiological function of the human body. In other words, each organ and tissue has its own function but yet is a part of whole body's unique activity. The TCM approach relies upon the body's own functional integration and the relationship between the body and the natural world. 
A TCM Doctor uses both personal and the centuries' of accumulated knowledge and experience to give each patient a complete TCM evaluation and provide appropriate
guidance toward individualized help. This theory, as with "Western" medicine, utilizes a collection of information from the description of the problem(s), and from all of the reported symptoms, signs and uncomfortable feelings to help distinguish between the different TCM syndromes. The TCM syndromes provide clues to the cause for an individual body's imbalance. The explanation of the individual body's condition then indicates the specific needed TCM recommendations to each patient. The TCM methods used to get rid of problems are primarily Chinese herbs, and Acupuncture.
