According to the Chinese view, the human being is a whole, a unity of body, soul and spirit. Energetic currents (qi) flow through the body along recognizable pathways.

As long as these currents are in balance and can flow freely, people are physically and mentally healthy. Diseases arise when the energy flow is disturbed.

To restore harmony, TCM therapists use one or more TCM methods: Acupuncture, Chinese drug therapy, nutrition, Tuina and Qi Gong.
