Importantly, TCM is not a single practice; it represents the collective medical wisdom of China's many ethnic groups.

This unique medical system is built on original theories and a distinctive way of thinking. It blends rich practical experience with a foundation in natural science. While deeply influenced by ancient Chinese philosophy, it also carries strong characteristics of the humanities and social sciences. In essence, TCM is a perfect example of multidisciplinary integration.

Above all, TCM puts the patient first. It is fundamentally a 'human-centered' practice, focusing on the person as a whole rather than just the disease."
