In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), practitioners do not focus on treating the symptoms of disease and illness. Rather, they provide the body with herbal combinations that support the harmony and balance of the body and cells with an ultimate goal of achieving harmony and a lower level of cellular toxicity.* 

TCM practitioners base their philosophies on the understanding that their is a good chance that healthy individuals may have less toxins in the cells causing imbalance while also have a more balanced body than a person who is very ill.  Thus, TCM practitioners support imbalance with acupuncture and herbal medicine designed to promote the return of a healthy, balanced and detoxified state.*
