The medical field is facing growing challenges from complex conditions that combine age and environment. Traditional biomedical methods save lives through emergency interventions, but they fail to treat diseases requiring multiple treatments and long-term care assessments, including life quality measurement. The field needs to combine traditional medicine with current science to create new medical solutions.
Integrative medicine, particularly its traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) approaches, uses comprehensive, customized treatment methods to treat complex problems. It’s based on the scientific principles of complex biological systems and their related disease mechanisms.
