Title: Introduction of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Abstract:
Traditional Chinese medicine - a well of medical knowledge gained from over 4,000 years. Traditional Chinese medicine (also known as TCM, pinyin: zhōng yī) includes a range of traditional medical practices originating in China. It is considered a Complementary or Alternative Medical system in much of the western world while remaining as a form of primary care throughout most of Asia.
TCM theory is extremely complex and originated thousands of years ago through meticulous observation of nature, the cosmos, and the human body. Major theories include those of Yin-yang, the Five Phases (Wu Xing), the Qi, cause of illness, four examinations of diagnosis, etc.
TCM practices include treatments such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy, Tui na and Shiatsu massage; often Qigong and Taiji are also strongly affiliated with TCM.
