Publication date: June 2018Source: Chinese Medical Sciences Journal, Volume 33, Issue 2Author(s): Xiuxiu Sang, Zhongxia Wang, Shuyi Liu, Ruilin WangAbstractChronic 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.
