Mandatory Consent and Disclosure Form About Traditional Chinese Medicine Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practiced in China for over 3,000 years. It has long been considered the medicine of the layman, because it treats the individual, not only the ailment. TCM takes a root and branch approach to health, in that true healing cannot take place until both the root of the disharmony and the branch are treated simultaneously. These concepts are taken from the Taoist philosophy that harmony and balance are elemental to the natural order of life and thus, health.
