More foreigners embrace TCM as health practice, life philosophy and professional pursuit – Interview by Global Times. Healing without borders.
More foreigners are entering the world of TCM – not just as patients, but as students, practitioners and promoters. From Germany to Cuba, TCM is gaining new global followers through study, treatment and lived experience. #HealthyChina
In front of a camera, Tim Vukan from Germany speaks to audiences about traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in a calm, measured tone. His lectures focus on topics that are both practical and deeply rooted in Chinese health philosophy – how to follow the direction of one’s qi, how to relearn the art of eating, how to enhance self-awareness, and how to use Chinese medicine for prevention.
For Vukan, TCM is not just about acupuncture, herbs, or treatment. It is a way of understanding how the body works through the interaction of emotions, diet, sleep, and lifestyle. After nearly two decades of studying and practicing TCM in China, he now uses online platforms to share his understanding to more people abroad.
