This work aimed to explore Chinese Medicine and the importance of evaluating the body as a whole.Results:The current medical model in most the world is a biomedical model of Western Medicine in which great efforts are concentrated on treating symptoms and diseases.The theories of Western Medicine ignore the importance of the dimensions of consciousness and usually focus its attention on a material level.Chinese Medicine treats the human body holistically,taking into consideration a unity of body and spirit in relationship to its environment.By challenging the classic theories of medicine of which the ultimate goal is to combat symptoms and diseases,new options for thought may be found.The symptoms have become a way to restore balance to improve health status.Thus,people Can learn about symptoms.It is an evolution and personal growth.For Chinese Medicine,the symptom or disease is a sign of imbalance affecting the whole body and indicates that other aspects of the patient's life need to be evaluated as well,not just the apparent "organ or system affected".Under this new paradigm,holistic Chinese Medicine is as scientific as the Western Medicine.It simply has its own methodology.
