TCM advantages

an Holistic approach

TCM treats the body as a whole, focussing on balance and harmony between body, mind and spirit. Rather than just treating symptoms, it seeks to identify and treat the root cause of illness.

Prevention

TCM emphasises disease prevention by maintaining the body's balance and health. Techniques such as acupuncture, herbal medicine and diet therapy are used to prevent imbalances before they turn into serious illnesses.

Differentiated treatment

Each individual is treated uniquely, taking into account their personal characteristics, lifestyle and specific conditions.

Complementarity

TCM can be used in conjunction with Western medicine to maximise results and offer the patient more complete care.
