Oriental medicine, also known as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is a holistic system of medicine originating in ancient China. It encompasses various practices such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage (Tui Na), dietary therapy, and Qi Gong. Oriental medicine views health as a balance between the body's Yin and Yang energies and the flow of Qi (vital energy) along meridians or pathways in the body. It focuses on restoring harmony and balance to promote wellness and treat illness.
