Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM6) is a style of traditional medicine built on a foundation of more than 2,500 years of Chinese medical practice that includes various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (tui na), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy, but recently also influenced by modern Western medicine. TCM is widely used in China  and is becoming increasingly available in Europe and North America (where it is primarily used as complementary alternative medicine approach).
