Among typically Western minds, there are few practices that simultaneously inspire both curiosity and doubt as quickly as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Those three words are saturated with erroneous assumptions, misunderstood intentions and a level of concrete definition so lacking that even adept practitioners disagree on what its terms represent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yet, you can\u2019t argue with its staying power. For more than 5,000 years, the practices that combine to form TCM have been achieving undeniable results in the physical world. For example, you can argue all day about what a concept like Qi (pronounced \u201cchee\u201d) entails, but you cannot deny that applying the concept in the physical world produces physical results. Definitions and results may vary, but the consequences of its practice are real.<\/p>
