Modern holistic medicine from the perspective of traditional chinese medicine

holis-Abstract The work presented in this paper aims to study modern holistic medicine from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine and to elucidate the concept of holism in traditional Chinese medicine. Based on a secondary analysis of available literatures, the study findings have led the author to the conclusions that: a. in spite of the superficial similarities, modern holistic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are different in essence b. the future architecture of modern holistic medicine should incorporate the thinking modes, clinical experience, treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine, and these two medical systems can complement each other in the 21st century. In addition, this paper also puts forward the suggestion of making full use of the current prosperity of wellness tourism in Thailand to promote Thai traditional medicine.
