Meridians and Collaterals | Chinese Medicine | Where are they?

Description: I am a native-Chinese speaker and a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner in Canada. While many English speakers translate TCM concepts in different ways and, sometimes, cause different understandings of the same TCM concept, my goal is to help clarify the original meanings of TCM terms and help to find the connections between different concepts and theories to see the big picture of TCM. #tcm #acupuncture #yinyang #chinesemedicine
