Traditional Chinese Medicine
What’s TCM?
TCM, or traditional Chinese medicine, is the perfect alternative medicine for you! A practice dating back thousands of years, Chinese medicine centers on two key principles: Qi and the balance of Yin and Yang.
Traditionally speaking, Qi signifies the energy flowing along pathways or meridians in our body.
Health issues can arise if this flow is blocked or unbalanced, often by emotional states, diet and sleep habits.
Yin and Yang represent the concept of binary opposites within everything. Your health, according to this philosophy, relies on maintaining a balance between these forces.
Practitioners like Dr. Lu specialize in reading these subtle energy balances in the body, mind, and spirit. They work to restore the balance of Qi and Yin-Yang, aiming to both maintain health and prevent illness. Chinese medicine has shown effectiveness in managing conditions like asthma, allergies, hormonal imbalances, and infertility.
