Abstract

Clinical Chinese Medicine (CCM) encompasses the therapeutic practices derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), integrating ancient wisdom with contemporary medical advancements. This article delves into the foundational principles of CCM, such as the balance of Yin and Yang, Qi flow, and the Five Elements theory. It examines the diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion, Tui Na, and dietary therapy. Furthermore, the article highlights the clinical efficacy of CCM in managing chronic pain, respiratory disorders, and gastrointestinal issues, supported by modern research. The integration of CCM with Western medical practices presents a complementary approach to holistic patient care. Despite challenges such as standardization and scientific validation, the future of CCM holds promise through continued research and collaboration, enhancing its role in global healthcare.
