Skip to content Safeguarding Health and Eradicating Illness
Guided by our mission to provide compassionate relief, Tzu Chi Canada offers Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) services to support the health and well-being of our communities. We are committed to making a positive impact through both charitable care and accessible professional services.
To fulfill this mission, we operate through two distinct avenues. The first is our charitable free clinic program, which provides vital care exclusively for Tzu Chi Foundation Canada care recipients. The second is our network of professional TCM clinics, which are open to the general public for paid consultations and support our charitable work.
(For Tzu Chi Foundation Canada Care Recipients)
Our free services include diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care. Beyond improving individual health, these services bring a ray of hope to many families. Currently, Tzu Chi operates regular free clinics in British Columbia and Ontario.
(Paid Services for the General Public)
In addition to our charitable work, we operate professional Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinics in Metro Vancouver and the Greater Toronto Area. These clinics are open to the general public and offer a full range of high-quality TCM services.
When you choose to visit our professional clinics, you not only invest in your own health but also contribute directly to our mission. The revenue generated from these paid services is essential for sustaining our charitable programs, including the TCM free clinics. It allows us to continue providing compassionate care to vulnerable members of our community.
We welcome you to schedule an appointment for a paid consultation at one of our public clinics. Please visit the website corresponding to your region to learn more about our services, practitioners, and fees.

Its staying power can be attributed to its effective holistic protocols, which are built on a foundation of knowledge and wisdom accumulated from thousands of years of observing the interactions between man and nature. TCM treats ailments from their root cause and restores balance in all aspects of one’s being, from the intangible qi to the tangible body.
There are four main philosophies that guide the practice of TCM:
1. You are an integrated whole.
From the TCM perspective, your health is affected by the well-being of your body as well as your mind and spirit. Your practitioner’s treatment plan will be developed with the intention of restoring balance to this all-important trinity.
2. You are connected to your environment.
Whether we like it or not, our bodies are constantly changing, and much of this change is affected by aspects of all the different environments we find ourselves in, including climate, geographical location, social factors, and countless others. Since TCM is holistic in nature, your practitioner will take all of these things into consideration and create a treatment plan that is tailored to you.
3. Your body tells all.
As soon as your body starts to deviate from its natural balance, it begins to put out signs, which can range from the most obvious of externalized symptoms to the subtlest difference in your pulse. Your trained TCM professional can read these signs and understand what your body is asking for, and why; they will then use this knowledge to not only treat what’s ailing you now, but also prevent other current imbalances from getting worse and causing future ailments.
4. You are born with the ability to self-heal.
The body, like nature itself, seeks to restore its own balance. This ability can sometimes be slowed or blocked by various factors, which TCM strives to remove. This allows your body to do what it does best and bring itself back into alignment.
