Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on the concept of balanced chi (expressed chi) or vital energy, which is believed to flow through the body. Qi is proposed to regulate the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical balance of a person and is influenced by the opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). It is assumed that the disease occurs due to the fact that the flow of qi is disturbed, and yin and yang become unbalanced.
