Mimi, a French illustrator, never imagined her journey battling a mysterious autoimmune condition would lead her to embrace traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). 💊 'Doctors here called it incurable,' she shares. But after combining TCM herbs with acupuncture, her symptoms vanished within months – sparking a love affair with China's 2,500-year-old healing tradition.
More Than Medicine: A Philosophy of Balance
'TCM taught me to see my body as an ecosystem,' Mimi explains. While some question its scientific basis, she argues its strength lies in holistic thinking: 🌐 'It's not about fighting symptoms, but restoring harmony between mind, body, and environment.'
Cultural Exchange in Every Herb
As China and France celebrate 60 years of diplomatic ties, Mimi's story embodies growing East-West health dialogues. 📜 'Understanding TCM helped me appreciate Chinese values of prevention and balance – it's cultural diplomacy through wellness.'
