World’s Obsession with TCM
With over 2,000 years of history, TCM is no longer confined to the East—it’s become a staple in modern wellness routines worldwide.

And why has TCM become so widely recognized and embraced?
Is it the rise of the internet in the 90s that propelled it into the spotlight? Maybe it’s TikTokers sharing quick, captivating clips, or businesses expanding globally in search of new markets. Sure, those might have played a role—but something only spreads this far if it delivers real value, right? So, what’s all the buzz about when it comes to TCM?

9 Out of 10 Chinese Families Keep Chinese Herbs Stocked at Home
In Chinese society, knowing how to use Chinese herbs is second nature—it’s a knowledge passed down through generations as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). From the kitchen to home remedies, herbs are everywhere, naturally integrated into everyday life without the need for formal education.
We didn’t need a textbook to know which herbs to add to soups for specific health benefits. We grew up sipping hearty broths packed with Dang Gui(Anglica Sinensis root), Dang Shen(Pilose Asiabell root), Goji berries, and many more, not just for taste, but for their ability to boost immunity, improve circulation, and nourish the body from within.
These ingredients weren’t just food—they were a form of everyday wellness.
Our TCM Practices At Home
When we think about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it’s easy to picture healing teas or herbal remedies. But did you know that TCM’s impact stretches far beyond your kitchen or medicine cabinet?
Feeling unwell? It’s common to burn Mugwort in a moxibustion treatment to promote blood flow and relieve pain.
For tired feet, we prepare a warm foot bath with herbs like Ginger or Sichuan peppercorns, known for their ability to improve circulation and soothe muscles.
And when discomfort strikes—whether it’s a headache, indigestion, or fatigue—pressing specific acupuncture points brings instant relief. Every point corresponds to a specific organ, a concept we absorb naturally as part of growing up in a culture steeped in TCM wisdom.
Did you know? There is TCM footwear! Reflexology slippers, fitted with raised bumps, are designed to target pressure points on the soles of your feet, corresponding to key organs. Each step gives your feet a mini-massage to stimulate the flow of Qi, though walking in these slippers for more than five minutes can be a true endurance test!
And yet, the list doesn’t end here. Curious about more fascinating uses of TCM? Dive into our article to learn about the culture: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Our Lifelong Obsession.
So, Why TCM?
Why are we so deeply connected to TCM, integrating it into almost everything? The answer lies in one powerful concept: Balance.
There’s a famous TCM saying: “Where there’s blockage, there’s pain; when the blockage is gone, the flow returns, and health remains. (痛则不通, 通则不痛)”
Achieving a smooth flow of energy throughout the body is considered key to staying healthy. When everything is balanced, blockages dissolve, and energy flows freely.
This harmony allows the body to flourish from the inside out, putting you in an optimal state of health.
TCM focuses on restoring balance within the body; whether it’s through acupuncture, herbal remedies, or lifestyle adjustments, TCM works to realign the body’s natural energies, promoting healing and overall well-being, much like everything else in the universe that is in constant search for equilibrium.
TCM Extends Beyond Food and Remedies - It’s In Our Skincare, too.
For centuries, TCM has played a pivotal role in skin health, and today, it’s become an integral part of modern skincare.
In ancient times, herbs were mashed and crafted into poultices to soothe and heal the skin. Fast forward to today, and we’ve traded mortar and pestle for state-of-the-art extraction techniques. These methods isolate the essential compounds from herbs, allowing us to infuse their potent benefits directly into skincare products, bringing the wisdom of the past to the present.
At LUWIN, our formulations incorporate over 30 different Chinese herbal extracts, each chosen for its specific ability to soothe inflammation, enhance skin health, and restore balance. Find out more about our TCM Ingredients.
The result? Radiant, healthy skin that reflects the harmony TCM is known for.
