The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), also known as Chinese medicine, is the name usually given to the set of practices traditional medicine in use in China, developed in the course of its history. MCT is used mainly as alternative medicine, with a complementary - and not substitutive - character to allopathic medicine. The practice and theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine are not based on scientific knowledge, and its practitioners strongly disagree on the diagnoses and treatments of patients. The efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine remains poorly researched and documented. Pharmaceutical research has explored the potential of creating new drugs based on active principles that could be found in MCT solutions but have achieved little success. Editorial from the journal "Nature" describes Traditional Chinese Medicine as fraught with pseudoscience. TCM is based on the concept of balanced chi (or vital energy), which is believed to travel through the body of the person.
