However, to preserve people's health is truly the very pith and essence of the TCM treasure. After decades of neglecting it, people, both in China and around the world, begin to realize that the quintessence of TCM discloses a way to keep one in good health.

Traditional Chinese medicine boasts a systematic and practical healing art that focuses on human physical health and not on pathological experiments. Chinese medicine stresses a humanity qualitative analysis of each individual patient.

According to Chinese medical practice, people's health conditions could generally be classified into three categories: Healthy, Sub-healthy, and Ailing. A considerable number of people, due to their physical conditions and environment factors, are in a sub-healthy state. Chinese medical practice emphasizes the balance among the component parts of the body of a person; if he or she is ill, the physician while curing the disease would also nurse the person back to health by medicaments. Traditional Chinese medical practice underlines the person who is ill but not just the illness that plagues the person. As the modern medical practice designs the model of "psychology-biology-medicine" to treat patients, traditional Chinese medicine apparently pays more attention to people's life and health.
