With a history of 2000 to 3000 years, TraditionalChinese Medicine (TCM) has formed a unique

system to diagnose and cure illness. The TCM

approach is fundamentally different from that of

Western medicine. In TCM, the understanding ofthe human body is based on the holistic

understanding of the universe as described in

Daoism, and the treatment of illness is based

primarily on the diagnosis and differentiation of

syndromes.

The clinical diagnosis and treatment in

Traditional Chinese Medicine are mainly basedon the yin-yang and five elementstheories. These theories apply the phenomena

and laws of nature to the study of the

physiological activities and pathological changesof the human body and its interrelationships. The

typical TCM therapies include acupuncture,

herbal medicine, and qigong exercises. With

acupuncture, treatment is accomplished by

stimulating certain areas of the external body.

Following a macro philosophy ofdisease, traditional Chinesediagnostics are based on overall

observation of human symptoms

rather than "micro" levellaboratory tests. There are four

types of TCM diagnostic methods:

observe (), hear and smell (),

ask about background () and

touching ().
