Chinese Medicine
Origin
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has its origins in ancient China, with a history that spans over 2,500 years. Its development is deeply intertwined with Chinese culture, philosophy, and early scientific exploration. The earliest references to TCM can be found in ancient texts like the "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon), dating back to around the 3rd century BCE and one of the foundational works of Chinese medicine.
purpose
TCM is holistic, meaning it considers the whole person, including their physical, emotional, and environmental factors. It emphasizes prevention and treating the root cause of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms. The goal of TCM is to restore balance and harmony within the body, promoting overall health and vitality.
philosophy and spirituality
TCM is heavily influenced by Taoism and Confucianism. Taoist philosophy, with its emphasis on balance, harmony, and the flow of Qi, is central to TCM's understanding of health and disease. Confucianism's focus on moral and social harmony also plays a role in the ethical practice of medicine.

It relies on TCM diagnostic methods to assess the body's energy balance.
zen Shiatsu
Zen Shiatsu integrates elements of Zen Buddhism with traditional Shiatsu practices.
