Traditional Chinese medicine, zhōng yì,  is a therapy and a theory on how to stay healthy.

Diagnosis in zhōng yì comes from various forms of observation, including visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile and questioning. The doctor observes a patient's tongue, voice, inquires about the patient's habits and medical history and feels the patient's pulse to make a diagnosis. Therapies in zhōng yì, emphasise tactile stimulation. 

Doctors give massage.

Tools for Gua Sha and cupping are easily found in daily life. Herbal medicines are selected from natural plants and are processed to cure different diseases. 

Zhōng yì prescribes to the belief that the human body has its own functioning system. People are healthy as long as their body system remains balanced.
