Chinese medicine can mean several things. "Chinese Medicine" can be understood as an indigenous medical system that was developed within the framework of Chinese culture. The medical tradition has roots in Chinese cosmology, Daoist cultivation methods, and Confucian social ethics. "Chinese Medicine" is also a dimension of Chinese culture that focuses on practices that heal, maintain, balance, and improve the human body. This broader understanding of Chinese medicine includes not only healing by professional practitioners (e.g. herbalists, acupuncturists, bone setters, and ritualists; see section on Beliefs and Practices), but also a wide range of practices that common people do to maintain their health.
