Chinese Medicine Melbourne: What Can TCM Treat?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years first in ancient China and then around the world. It uses acupuncture, herbal medicine and other preparations, nutrition, massage therapy and exercises such as tai chi and qi gong to treat and prevent illnesses. It is based on the idea of life energy or Qi that is present in the body and exists in meridians, energy channels that run through the body. When there are blockages in the movement of life energy, illnesses including mental and emotional problems can follow.
Chinese Medicine Melbourne treats the whole person and the whole body system, not just the symptoms. TCM is used to treat many types of health problems including hormonal imbalances in women, menstrual problems and infertility, headaches and migraines, pain, poor immune system, respiratory problems, stress and anxiety, insomnia and many other health conditions.
