Abstract

China is unique among the world civilizations in that it has a well-established indigenous medical treatment philosophy dating back thousands of years. This was epitomized by the well known Huang Ti Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic), a seminal medical text of ancient China where a legendary physician Yu Fu was alleged to possess the skill for surgical exposure of the brain. The Neijing, Shennong Ben Cao Jing (Divine Husbandman’s Classic of the Materia Medica), and a few other ancient texts laid the foundation of the so-called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), an alternative treatment being actively practiced even today in mainland China and among overseas Chinese alongside modern Western medical and surgical therapies.
