This section of the Web site explains the causes and progression of breast cancer from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM places equal importance on the health of the mind, body, and spirit. This approach recognizes the role that unbalanced emotions and chronic stress can play in the development of the disease. Like conventional medicine, TCM takes into account environmental and genetic factors as well. We begin this section with a quick introduction to a few basic principles of TCM.
