Chinese medicine has a long and important history. Successive generations of Chinese doctors have generated thousands of years of clinical experience, which has been preserved and passed on through a variety of texts.  Although similar knowledge may have existed in other ancient cultures, it is the unbroken tradition of Chinese culture that has allowed this wisdom to be handed down to the present.  The science behind Chinese medicine has benefited from each generation of doctors continuously improving chemical formulations and carefully recording their observations.  Chinese medicine has gained the respect of physicians the world over, and has been recognized as providing effective treatment both in conjunction to western methods and at times as a superior substitute.  Using modern scientific analytical techniques, researchers in Japan, Germany, America and other countries have worked to confirm the value of many of these traditional Chinese therapies. 

It is important to recognize that Chinese medicine characterizes diseases differently from western medicine.  Chinese medicine is concerned with the overall analysis of a patient’s condition.  This diagnostic methodology allows a doctor to recognize the way that a single disease might be manifest differently in patients with a different physiology.  This in itself is valuable since it can provide an alternative analytical lens from the Western approach to understanding and diagnosing diseases.

Because Chinese diagnostic methods rely heavily on correct syndrome differentiation, the prescription will not function properly if the patient is not observed carefully.  It is said that one leaf or one straw of the correct medicine is better than a cup or even a hectoliter of ginseng.  Because of the importance of diagnosis, Chinese doctors must consider the patients entire physiology to determine the correct formulation of the prescription.  This is different from western medicine which can treat a variety of maladies with a single broad spectrum drug.
