Meridians and collaterals

This system provides the diagnosis, treatment and application of all TCM industry subjects.

Yin and Yang

TCM also considers it its central belief that health in all parts of the body is related to the relationship between Yin and Yang.

Chinese herbal therapy

This is based on the principle that good health depends on the achievement of optimal vitality and balance - the balance described in terms of the polarity of Yin and Yang.
