Integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into Health Care of Elderly-A Short Review
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emphasizes the combination of: The physical, psychological, spiritual, social, and environmental aspects. These aspects encourage human beings to live in harmony with the rhythm of nature. We believe these principles match with up the ideas of holistic care, and the characteristics of TCM therapies are much gentler and safer for the elderly. Nowadays, significant evidence supports the effectiveness and safety of TCM for seniors’ health care. In this short review, we shall provide some brief illustrations for healthcare professionals to understand some of TCM’s concepts for Geriatrics.
