Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of healing based upon the Chinese philosophy of the correspondence between Nature (Tao) and human beings. The principle of microcosm-macrocosm is based upon the observation of several thousand years that Nature has a vital effect upon the health of people.
