The Art and Science of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Food Energetics and Herbal Healing
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is like a timeless conversation between humanity and nature, a dialogue that’s been refining itself for over 80 centuries. As an integrative practitioner, I’ve watched patients walk into my clinic skeptical, only to leave with a newfound respect for the power of a well-placed herb or a bowl of congee. TCM’s approach to health—using food and herbs to harmonize the body’s Qi, Yin, and Yang—is both an art and a science, grounded in observation and elevated by intuition.
