Abstract:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) revolves around the philosophical principles of Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements.The process of diagnosing, then treating with TCM, is called Bensho-Ronti (a traditional logic-based mythology). Specifically, it means diagnosing the patient (Bensho) using four diagnostic procedures, called Shishin, then formulating and applying therapies (Ronti) which correspond to the diagnosis. Herein, we survey the flow of this TCM.
