TCM includes about herbal remedies, accupuncture, accupressure, moxibustion, cupping, qui gong (exercise patterns).
Anything that goes into your mouth, should be run by your doctor.
Accupuncture is pretty safe, just make sure you go to a certified person, an MD is best. And make sure the needles are unused and clean.
Cupping is very dangerous, you can get 2nd or 3rd degree burns from it.
There was an article in a Mishpacha supplement – i think the kolmus from pesach – about the avoda zara nature about some of these alternative therapies. Best to be 100% sure about them. Quigong might be under this category.
