Fundamental principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Fundamental principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine seek to work with the energy or Qi systems of ones body and to achieve an equilibrium of the Qi through the system. This is seen as a practice that is undertaken by the individual in their daily lives as well as support from practitioners of acupuncture, herbalists, martial artists, and Feng Shui. It is very common, especially in the past, that the layperson would have an in-depth knowledge of the TCM practices. Thus prevention and cure of ones ailment is reliant on the patient and the supporting practitioner.
