    TCM methods put to the test: an overview of the research situation

    Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a healing art that is thousands of years old and is recognized worldwide. With its holistic approach, it combines methods such as acupuncture, acupressure, Qi Gong and herbal remedies to promote physical and mental health in equal measure.
