## Resource

In this episode of Chinese Medicine for Christians, I break down the foundational concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine in a simple and approachable way. You’ll learn about Qi, Yin and Yang, meridians, root-cause healing, and why TCM views the body as deeply connected physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you’ve ever wondered how acupuncture works or why symptoms like stress, fatigue, hormone imbalance, and digestive issues are viewed differently in Chinese medicine, this episode is a great place to start. Topics covered: What Qi actually means Yin & Yang explained simply How emotions affect physical health Why TCM focuses on root-cause healing A Christian perspective on holistic wellness Free Newsletter: melissapetershealth.com Email: hello@melissapetershealth.com Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcmforchristians If you like this episode, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts!
