Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) means a complementary health approach informed by modern medicine but built on a foundation of more than 3,000 years of Chinese medical practice. TCM treatments can include acupuncture, cupping, tui-na (traditional Chinese therapeutic massage, akin to acupressure), qi gong, traditional Chinese herbal supplements, and traditional Chinese dietary principles. It is primarily used as a integrative medicine approach.

TCM is widely used in China and is becoming increasingly available in Europe and North America.

Practitioners of TCM believe there is no separation between mind and body. They look at the interaction between mind, body and environment.

It is very different to Western medicine and uses a combination of various practices including:

- herbal remedies (traditional Chinese medicines)

- acupuncture or acupressure

- moxibustion (burning moxa – a cone or stick of dried herb)

- massage therapy

- feng shui

- breathing and movement exercises called qi gong (pronounced chee goong)

- movement exercises called tai chi (pronounced tie chee)

- diet

Instead of placing emphasis on anatomical structures, TCM is mainly concerned with the identification of functional entities (which regulate such processes as digestion, breathing, or aging). If "good health" is perceived as the harmonious interaction between these entities and the outside world, disease is perceived as a person's natural processes being in disharmony with their environment. When making a diagnosis, a TCM doctor's goal is to trace the patient's symptoms to patterns of an underlying disharmony. This will be done by measuring your pulse, discussing your eating and sleeping habits in detail, and inspecting your tongue, skin, and eyes, in addition to other diagnostic modalities.
