Traditional Chinese Medicine (simplified Chinese: ä¸ĺŚ»; traditional Chinese: ä¸é†«; pinyin: zhĹŤng yÄ«: "Chinese Medicine") refers to a broad range of medicine practices sharing common theoretical concepts which have been developed in China and look back on a tradition of more than 2000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy, and dietary therapy.[1] These practices are a common part of medical care throughout East Asia, but are considered alternative medicine in the western world.[1]
