What is TCM Aromatherapy?
TCM Aromatherapy is a holistic healing art that combines the essence of aromatic botanicals with the foundational theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine. By carefully selecting essential oils based on
Yin-Yang balance, the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), and your unique energetic constitution, this practice addresses imbalances at their source. Whether you seek to calm an overactive mind, invigorate stagnant energy, or restore emotional harmony, each oil is chosen to guide your body toward its natural state of equilibrium.
