Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become an integral part of healthcare in Peru, gaining popularity and acceptance across the country. Remarkably, its roots in Peru date back more than 150 years, coinciding with the arrival of the first Chinese immigrants.
Since those early days, TCM has woven itself into the fabric of Peruvian society. Practices such as acupuncture, herbal remedies, and tai chi are not just confined to niche communities but are embraced by a wide cross-section of the population.
In the bustling streets of Lima, the capital city, the influence of TCM is evident. From traditional clinics to modern wellness centers, Peruvians are increasingly turning to these ancient practices for holistic health solutions.
The longstanding presence of TCM in Peru highlights the cultural exchange and enduring connections between Peru and China. It is a testament to how traditional practices can transcend borders and become cherished parts of communities far from their origins.
