Already the diagnosis of disease and indication of proper treatment is a complicated process that only a highly trained doctor in Chinese medicine can perform.

The implementation of each therapeutic method requires special conditions that must necessarily exist. The calm and peace of mind of the patient, the distribution and energy charge of the place where it is practiced, the status of specialist, every element involved in the application of the treatment must meet certain very specific conditions.

The complexity of this health system is that, apart from the methods mentioned above, there are other equally effective therapies that require the same preparation and layout. Methods that have been developed to form a more complex science of Chinese medicine with over the years. They are, acupressure, herbology, aromatherapy, naturopathy, Iridology, Auriculotherapy, Cromoterapia, Reflexology, as well, acupuncture, moxibustion, massage, herbology and surgery.

Chinese medicine, with its ancient tradition is one that has made more contributions to contemporary Western medicine, despite its methods, in simple apraciencia, Chinese medicine retains an incredible force in the world.

Chinese medicine, the patient is waiting for some kind of official recognition, as it happened recently in Japan with its derivative, more direct, Kampo Medicine.
