Chinese medicine includes all Asian traditions emerging from Southeast Asia that have their origins in China. It is a complete medical system that includes herbal therapy, acupuncture, dietary therapy, herbal and supplement therapy, and exercises in breathing and movement (tai chi and qi gong), meditation, manual therapy, cupping, gua-sha and other needling therapies. Several of these therapies may be employed in the course of treatment. Clinical strategies are based upon diagnosis of patterns of signs and symptoms that reflect an imbalance.
