Relationship Between Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)Constitution and TCM Syndrome in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Diseases / 中国医学科学杂志(英文版)

ABSTRACT

Chronic diseases are global threats to human health. By applying the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory of body constitution to the treatment of chronic diseases, and comprehensively identifying and differentiating the syndrome, disease, and constitution, TCM can be fully used in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases. In this manner, population-based and evidence-based modern medicine can organically align with the individual-focused and speculation-based TCM, with subsequent benefits for the control of chronic diseases, reducing their burden on human health.
