The COVID-19 pandemic turned our lives upside down, affecting both physical and mental health. In addition to conventional treatments, many people have turned to alternative methods of supporting their health, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This ancient practice offers a comprehensive approach to health, encompassing herbal medicine, acupressure, and Qigong exercises. Moreover, TCM also provides treatments for COVID-19 complications, such as "Long COVID."

In this article, we will discuss how TCM can support the treatment of viral infections, strengthen the body, and reduce the side effects of COVID-19.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a medical system with over 3,000 years of history. It is based on the concept of Qi (vital energy), whose flow in the body must be harmonious. In TCM, diseases are interpreted as the result of disturbances in the flow of Qi, often caused by "external pathogens" (e.g., cold, dampness, heat).

COVID-19 in TCM is classified as a disease related to "heat and dampness," attacking the lungs. Treatment focuses on strengthening immunity, eliminating toxins, and supporting the body's regeneration after infection.
