Traditional Chinese MedicineIn Shanghai
TCM views the human body as a holistic unique entity where every part of the complex system is interconnected, and the body is a whole integrated unit. Thus, the diagnosis is based upon the observation of the patient as a whole, rather than just a collection of symptoms. The TCM practitioner will ask the patient's overall health, including their physical, emotional, and environmental factors. This allows treatment to be tailored to the individual, rather than a one-size-fts-all approach.
