WHAT DOES CHINESE MEDICINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine is a broad range of medicine practices sharing common concepts which have been developed in China and are based on a tradition of more than 2,000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage, exercise, and dietary therapy. Concepts of the body and of disease used in TCM are pre-scientific, similar to European humoral theory, and are pseudoscientific; they are a form of vitalism and are not based upon scientific knowledge. Attempts to find a scientific basis or mechanism of action for concepts used in TCM such as the circulation of Qi, the meridian system, and other related theories have failed. The effectiveness of Chinese herbal medicine remains poorly documented. There are concerns over a number of potentially toxic plants, animal parts, and mineral Chinese medicinals. There is a lack of existing cost-effectiveness research for TCM. Pharmaceutical research has explored the potential for creating new drugs from traditional remedies. Successful results have however been scarce.
