Traditional Chinese Medicine
Nuru memberTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) understands health as the balanced flow of qi through the body's meridian system. Illness arises when this flow is disrupted. TCM practitioners use diagnosis of tongue, pulse, and symptoms to identify patterns of imbalance and treat them through a combination of modalities.
Cultural origin
China — a comprehensive medical system developed over 3,000 years, encompassing acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, qigong, and Tui Na massage.
What a session involves
An initial TCM consultation involves detailed questioning, tongue and pulse diagnosis, and the creation of a personalised treatment plan. Treatment may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary advice, and lifestyle recommendations. Sessions last 60–90 minutes.
Who it's for
Anyone seeking an holistic approach to health rooted in one of the world's most complete medical traditions. TCM addresses a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.
