The visit to the exhibition was arranged by the China International Press Communication Center (CIPCC).
During their visit, the journalists got familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and tasted some medicinal plants and drinks.
They also experienced TCM massage performed by a massage master.
A conference on traditional Chinese medicine was also held on the sidelines of the exhibition, during which the journalists got acquainted with the TCM, and their questions in this field were answered by a Chinese professor who presented a lecture in this regard.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an alternative medical practice drawn from traditional medicine in China. It has been described as pseudoscientific, with the majority of its treatments having no known mechanism of action.
Medicine in traditional China encompassed a range of sometimes competing health and healing practices, folk beliefs, literati theory and Confucian philosophy, herbal remedies, food, diet, exercise, medical specializations, and schools of thought. In the early twentieth century, Chinese cultural and political modernizers worked to eliminate traditional practices as backward and unscientific. Traditional practitioners then selected elements of philosophy and practice and organized them into what they called “Chinese medicine”
