Based on the ancient philosophy of Yin and Yang, Chinese herbal medicine is concerned with oppositional forces, and how they are connected, complementary, and dependent on each other. An example lies in the Yin and Yang symbol, half light and half dark. While considered opposites, lightness and darkness are dependent on each other, as darkness cannot exist without light. According to the philosophy of Yin and Yang, opposites exist in many places throughout the natural world, as well as in our bodies. Only when these opposites are balanced will a person be in good health.
Using this concept as a foundation, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focuses on restoring a patient’s internal balance and harmony. With proper balance, a person’s life force, Qi (pronounced “chee”), can flow freely through channels within the body, without obstruction or depletion. Chinese herbal medicine is a component of TCM that works to eliminate blockages of Qi, using herbal remedies. A range of studies have shown the success of Chinese herbal medicine in treating various ailments.
Chinese herbal medicine is still widely practised in the healthcare sector in China, and has greatly influenced Eastern medicine. Also becoming more popular in the West, it is now offered in state hospitals along with conventional Western medicine.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is considered a complete system, and is capable of treating a wide range of ailments.

Different practitioners may therefore work within a Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Korean, or Japanese tradition.
