I hope you all are having a great week so far! When looking at
wellness through a history lens at ancient wellness, you will see that
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around since 3,000-
2,00 B.C. and is still used in today's society. TCM involves
acupuncture, herbal medicine, qi gong and tai chi, massage therapy,
have become modern wellness and even Western medical
approaches. As a person with a background in Massage Therapy, this
form of wellness has not left our world of wellness. There are many
people who prefer the alternative and more natural route to care
then pharmaceuticals and that involves TCM. To take TCM and
reflect upon how it helps me better understand wellness, is that this
form of medicine and other approaches are more natural ways to
stay in balance, mental, physically, and spiritually. TCM is more of a
holistic approach and helps the body, mind and spirit in many ways
verses taking a pill with side effects.
