TCM and Ayurveda

What’s old is new again as ancient healing methods become more prominent in mainstream health and wellness. Integrative practitioners have been expressing interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, approaches that look at patients as unique individuals and use available resources to determine their needs. Using these methods, TCM and Ayurveda assign specific herbs, therapies, and dietary instructions that relate to their body and environment.

There is a certain art to mastering TCM and Ayurveda, so practitioners should not underestimate the delicate approach that must be taken to avoid over-prescribing or mixing improper elements. However, as traditional healing methods become more in-demand by consumers, practitioners can only benefit from educating themselves on and incorporating approaches from TCM and Ayurveda in to their practices.
