Traditional Chinese Medicine
The science of Traditional Chinese Medicine also called TCM, which includes Acupuncture, is one of the oldest and most commonly used natural healing medicines in the world. The current literature demonstrates it has at least a 2500 year history. It is based on the philosophy that humans and nature are part of the whole universe which reflects the natural way of being.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Medicine, also called herbal medicine, is derived mainly from plants; certain other Chinese medicines are from animals and minerals as well. Based on clinical needs, certain herbs are from whole plants, but others may only come from flowers, fruits, leaves, stems, skins of the fruits or seeds. For the best clinical results, the time of harvesting the plants and the geological location of the plants are very important.
