[in "Naturopathic Medicine At RSNC"]

"according to TCM, when your energy flow, or qi (pronounced 'chi') is out of balance, your body cannot adapt to stress, making you more likely to develop chronic illness and pain. TCM seeks to relieve these imbalances by adjusting the circulation of qi and balancing the forces of yin and yang energy. A harmonious flow of qi, achieved by balancing cold and heat, internal and external, yin and yang, will help sustain long-term physical, mental and emotional health [...] physical medicine includes massage, hydrotherapy, peat therapy and other physical therapies such as ultra-violet and infra-red therapy [...] constitutional hydrotherapy, a method of stimulating the body’s vital force";
