Conditions Treated by TCM

TCM has developed over thousands of years and because of the flexible nature of the theoretical base to the medicine, nearly any condition can be treated by TCM. The theory also gives TCM the ability to strengthen health and prevent disease and does not need the patient to present with symptoms before it can help. TCM theory states that a good practitioner will prevent disease before it manifests and only poor practitioner would wait for a patient to become ill before providing treatment.
