Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine (WM) have evolved in different cultural settings throughout history and have led to two different ways of providing healthcare and researching science and medicine. WM is currently facing the challenge of increasing costs and decreasing new effective drugs. How best to research to integrate the best of both paradigms to provide healthcare?
