The Meaning Behind The Chaum
The Chaum combines the Korean words for 채움 ("filling") and 처음 ("beginning").
Our approach with acupuncture is to restore the body's balance to its original, perfect state. We aim to fill any deficiencies in Yin and Yang while bringing excesses back to their natural state, just as they were in the beginning.
At The Chaum, we integrate the ancient healing wisdom of Eastern medicine with modern medical knowledge to offer you a unique and effective acupuncture experience. Discover the powerful synergy of traditional and contemporary healing at The Chaum.
