Traditional Chinese medicine is gaining attention because of its unique theoretical bases (ie, Yin-Yang and Five-Element theories), which differ substantially from the bases of Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasises the importance of boosting the individual's endogenous healing ability via preventive, holistic, and health-preserving approaches, using formula prescriptions, natural products, acupuncture, and physical exercise. In 2018, for the first time, WHO included traditional Chinese medicine in its influential global medical compendium.
