An important medical approach of TCM is the so-called health prophylaxis

Preventing illness in the first place was the reward for Chinese doctors in earlier times. This concept makes sense, and this approach is one of the main tenets of a holistic philosophy.

• Relax
• "Turn off"
• Healthy fresh food
• Purification and detoxification through sweating
• Exercise in the great outdoors or using Qi Gong techniques
• Relieve tension through massages

Chinese medicine has known this method to keep the body fit for many centuries. For a stable immune system and protection against infections, TCM has a repertoire of supportive treatment options available. Chinese herbal formulas and acupuncture can be used purely prophylactically to protect the body from internal and external attacks.
