Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) encompasses the therapeutic practices of acupuncture, moxibustion and herbal medicine. 'Qi' is a key concept in this medical system and is often understood as 'energy' or 'life force'. The fundamental aim of TCM is to achieve balance or harmony to allow the best expression of Qi as is possible for the constitution of the individual.
Yin and Yang are the essential opposites within all things. The understanding of this is another fundamental aspect of TCM. This is important in health because of the need for balance.
A brief note on terminology: on this website, I use the terms 'conventional biomedicine' and 'Western medicine' interchangeably - both are currently accepted terms to describe the standard medical approach used in the UK.
Please note I am not currently able to offer disabled access toilet facilitites.
