In modern times, many couples hope to conceive naturally, yet few truly understand the importance of preparing their bodies beforehand. From the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, preconception care is like cultivating fertile soil—only when the body’s qi and blood are harmonized can new life take root and thrive.

Bladder Health in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient healing system that has been practiced for more than 3,000 years. Rooted in holistic principles, TCM views the body as an interconnected network of energy, or qi (pronounced "chee"), and emphasizes balance and harmony within the body and with the external environment. One of the key organs addressed in TCM is the bladder, which plays a central role in the body’s fluid balance and waste elimination.
