Abstract
Chinese medicine (CM) basic theory differs substantially from modern medicine in methodology. CM views the healthy human body as an entity in yinyang equilibrium. CM practitioners typically diagnose patients with "Zheng (CM syndrome)"-yin-yang status of specific organs, and the ultimate goal of treatment in CM is to restore the yin-yang balance. This concept might seem strange to Western perceptions; however, CM philosophy and methodology have been gradually accepted and used in the West. There is growing evidence from prestigious worldwide journals like Nature, Science and Cell indicating that CM theory is becoming an important component in dealing with health issues in the West.
