Basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), health means one thing above all: balance. When body, energy and mind work together harmoniously, well-being can develop in a stable way - and this is exactly where this subject comes in.
In the basics of TCM, you will learn about the most important thought models behind methods such as acupuncture and meridian massage. You will understand how yin and yang work as a dynamic balance and why an imbalance (disharmony) is often seen as a trigger for complaints in TCM.
A central part of the course is an understanding of qi, blood and humors: What tasks they have, how they work together and why they are so crucial for vitality, regeneration and performance . In addition, you will delve into the five-element theory and learn how TCM establishes connections between organs, emotions, energy flow and lifestyle .
This subject provides you with the theoretical basis for a sound understanding of later practical content, a holistic view of clients and a professional approach to TCM concepts in consultation and application.
