Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive medical system that originated in China and has been practiced for thousands of years. It is based on the concept of balance between Yin and Yang, as well as the circulation of vital life energy, known as Qi, through a network of meridians in the body.

A healthy state is seen as the result of a harmonious interaction between Yin and Yang, while illness is believed to result from an imbalance between these two opposing forces. To restore health, TCM focuses on rebalancing the flow of Qi and reestablishing harmony between Yin and Yang.

Diagnosis in TCM includes careful observation of the patient’s pulse, tongue, and other physical symptoms. Based on this information, the practitioner identifies the underlying imbalance and creates a treatment plan using a variety of methods.

TCM emphasizes the maintenance of health and the prevention of disease by encouraging a balanced lifestyle, seasonal rhythms, and nutritious food. It is a holistic approach that acknowledges the connection between body, mind, and environment and aims for harmony on all levels.

How Mesology Uses TCM

Mesology combines insights from TCM with knowledge from Western medicine. The goal is always the same: to uncover the root cause of your complaints, rather than just treating the symptoms.

A mesologist conducts an in-depth examination of how your body functions. This includes diagnostic techniques from TCM, such as pulse and tongue analysis, combined with modern assessment tools like electro-acupuncture diagnostics. In this process, the electrical resistance of acupuncture points is measured, giving insight into the state of the meridians, the organs they relate to, and how these relate to your symptoms. This method is completely painless and uses no electricity for stimulation.

Nutrition, stress, sleep, and emotional strain are also taken into account when forming the complete picture. Everything in the body is connected, and this is where mesology excels: recognizing patterns and connections. By integrating the wisdom of TCM, the mesologist can not only relieve symptoms but also identify the underlying cause.
