What does TPM mean in MEDICAL

TPM is a holistic medical system that originated in Iran and has been practiced since antiquity. It has evolved through centuries of practice and combines remedies from both traditional Iranian medical theory and various other ancient healing traditions. TPM focuses on prevention by addressing the underlying causes of illness, taking into account factors such as lifestyle, environment, diet, and emotional states.

While conventional medicine mainly focuses on treating symptoms, TPM takes a more comprehensive approach; it looks into the root cause of a disorder rather than just treating the existing symptoms. In addition, TPM takes into account lifestyle factors such as diet and emotions in order to create an individualized treatment plan for each patient based on their unique needs and conditions.

The most common treatments used in TPM are herbal medicines, massage therapy, breathing exercises (simply known as “Prana”), dietary changes and lifestyle modifications. Furthermore, specific treatments may include acupuncture or cupping therapies to treat chronic diseases.

The main benefits of traditional Persian medicine focus on providing a holistic approach to health care with the aim of preventing further illness. This form of medicine also seeks to improve overall well-being and vitality by managing physical, mental and spiritual health through natural remedies with few side effects or risks. Additionally, this type of medicine can be used to treat many common illnesses such as colds, flu and digestive issues.

TPM is generally very safe if practiced by qualified professionals; however certain allergies or sensitivities may arise when using herbal remedies or certain practices like cupping or massage therapy. Furthermore, certain therapies such as fasting can also be risky if someone has pre-existing medical conditions that restrict their ability to fast safely.

Although current scientific research is limited due to lack modern clinical trials supported by empirical evidence, there have been studies done that suggest efficacy for several different types of illnesses treated with TPM techniques such as arthritis pain relief or digestive issues.

Traditionally trained physicians who have studied both traditional Iranian medical theory and other forms eastern practices are best suited for practicing this way of healing. These practitioners typically adopt a patient centric approach which integrates diverse treatments from Ayurveda and Chinese medicine.
