Traditional Chinese Medicine
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice and key part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves gently inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body to restore balance, relieve pain, and promote overall well-being.
TCM includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion, and dietary guidance. At its heart is the belief that good health comes from a balanced flow of energy — or Qi — through the body.
More and more South Africans are turning to TCM as a gentle, effective way to manage chronic conditions, improve quality of life, and maintain long-term wellness.
