TCM Internal Medicine
TCM Internal Medicine is a crucial branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine, focusing on diagnosing, treating, and preventing internal diseases. Unlike Western internal medicine, TCM Internal Medicine emphasizes a holistic perspective and personalized treatment. TCM theory suggests that health is closely related to the balance of yin and yang and the regulation of qi and blood. Therefore, treatment not only addresses symptoms but also aims to adjust the body’s internal state and enhance its self-healing abilities. Treatment methods primarily include herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping therapy, and Tuina, each with unique therapeutic effects and specific indications.
TCM Internal Medicine is commonly used to treat chronic diseases and suboptimal health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, indigestion, and chronic fatigue syndrome. For instance, in treating hypertension, TCM does not merely focus on blood pressure levels but also regulates the flow of qi and blood while balancing emotional well-being to stabilize blood pressure. For diabetes, TCM enhances organ functions, improves overall constitution, and increases insulin efficiency to effectively control blood sugar fluctuations.
