Chinese medicine is one of the oldest methods of treating diseases in the world. One of the oldest versions of traditional Chinese medicines was initiated and popularized by the Yellow Emperor in the 3rd century Since the 3rd century (Li, 2016). Since then, medicine has undergone various forms of researches and advancement to improve its efficiencies.

Besides, the Chinese also focus on improving people’s lifestyles by providing the information required for adequate nutrition, exercise, and regular medical checkups. The science and the practice of Chinese medicine differ significantly from the modern form of medicine. As a result, the functionality difference has attracted diverse views and critics from all parts of the world.

Unlike modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine believes in the existence of energy called “Qi” which plays a vital role in determining the body fictionality. The doctor or the specialist that practice Chinese medicine believe that lack of balance of the body energy od one of the core indicators of illnesses in the body (Li, 2016). Chinese medicine is considered unscientific since it lacks an explanation for some of the significant concepts used in diagnosing, preventing, and treating illnesses (Xu, 2019). For instance, Chinese medicine supporters argue that the body comprises two opposing called Ying and ping, whose interaction dictates the body’s health.

The traditional Chinese medicine significantly depends on applying alternative medicines such as herbal medicine, relaxation technique, and meditation. However, the advancement of modern technology and the interaction between the modern and the traditional form of treatment has made it possible for the Chinese medicine specialist to apply the mix of the two core strategies (Yu et al., 2017). Hence, the modern form of Chinese Medicine also uses the various forms of conventional equipments such as needles and thermometers to enhance the accuracy of the diagnosis and the treatment process.
