Traditional Chinese medicine has been practiced in China for over 2000 years and includes different treatments like herbs, acupuncture, massage exercises, and special diets.

This type of medicine believes that a vital energy flows through the body along paths called meridians.

These paths connect to our organs and help them function.

The ideas behind Chinese medicine come from old texts like the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon and the Treatise on Cold Damage, and also involve ancient concepts like Yin-Yang and the Five Phases.

Throughout history, China has had many skilled doctors like Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, and Li Shizhen.

They were well known for their excellent skills in healing and helping people get rid of pain.
