What is now TCM is an enormously rich resource, with literally thousands of years of experience, as refined by the intense thought, analysis and practice of some of the most intelligent human beings there have ever been. This is a tradition which speaks directly to modern man and his health just as it has for thousands of years.

It is used throughout the world, and many modern hospitals now include therapies based upon it in their treatment of modern disease. It is not a panacea: modern medicine has its place, but for many of the ills of modern man, TCM - which lacks the awful side effects of so many drugs and treatments - is hardly equalled by any other system of medicine, both in its understanding and in its treatment of disease.

Furthermore, the ideas and theories of TCM have been the basis for other traditional medicines in South-East Asia (Japan and Korea) and for treatments such as Shiatsu from Japan, Reiki, and Applied Kinesiology. Many people practise Tai Qi and Qi Gong which are rooted in TCM, and its roots inform other disciplines such as Martial Arts, Kung-Fu, Tai Kwando etc.

TCM is a rich source of understanding of the causes of disease - see Causes of Disease, and has many highly effective methods to treat it - see Methods of Treatment.
