Traditional Chinese Medicine: An Introduction to Theory, Diagnosis, and Treatment

With a history of over 2,000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a unique system of diagnosis and cure. Since ancient times, TCM has been widely used in China by everyone, from commoners to high officials. The TCM approach is fundamentally different from that of Western medicine. Ms. Kapothanasis and Mr. Tseng will give an introduction on how TCM practitioners diagnose patients through tongue and pulse examination and a detailed taking of history.
