Alternative Chinese Medicine

Ancient Chinese medicine comprises a wide range of conventional medical practices of China. Though it is well accepted and recognized in mainstream of medicinal care throughout the Eastern Asia, it is viewed as an alternative Chinese medical system in most of the western countries.

Ancient Chinese medicine practices include treatments such as dietary therapy, Shiatsu massage, Tui na, herbal medicine, and acupuncture. In fact, Taijiquan and Qigong are also associated with the Chinese medicine.

The Chinese medicine originated centuries ago with thorough observation of the nature, human body, and universe. Chinese medicine defines the records based on the synthetic and inductive mode of perception and learning.

Traditional Chinese medicine is largely based on the philosophical concept that the human body is a small universe with a set of complete and sophisticated interconnected systems, and that those systems usually work in balance to maintain the healthy function of a human body.
