根据世界卫生组织和美国国立卫生研究院的资料，中医起源于3000多年前。它最流行的方式，针灸，也许是世界上最古老和最常用的医疗程序。这种和其他中国医学模式的实践差异很大，这让人们对基于诊断结果选择治疗方法的标准有普遍共识的想法产生了质疑。在当前提倡确定性和还原论思想的文化中，人们认为，最接近客观的理论和临床知识体系的东西，是在中国古典传统的深处找到的。
According to the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health, traditional Chinese medicine originated more than 3000 years ago. Its most popular modality, acupuncture, is perhaps the oldest and most commonly used medical procedure in the world. A wide variation in the practice of this and other Chinese medical modalities call into question the idea that there are universally agreed on criteria for choosing procedures based on arrived diagnoses. In the current culture that calls for certainty and reductionist thought, it is believed that the nearest thing to what is considered an objective body of theoretical and clinical knowledge is found deep within the Chinese classic tradition.
