Acupuncture is a treatment using fine needles to stimulate at specific points on the body. Numerous research projects have demonstrated evidence of the effect of acupuncture. For some indications, the effect of acupuncture has been scientifically proven, such as chronic pain, seasonal rhinitis, functional gastrointestinal disorders, etc. Moxibustion refers to the warming of various areas of the body or acupuncture points using burnt Chinese mugwort leaves. Other applications include cupping, Gua Sha, and Tuina (manual therapy).

According to TCM theory, our foods have thermal properties (hot, warm, neutral, cool, and cold) and taste characteristics with different effects (e.g., sour, dry, sweet, etc.). In combination with the concept of "the homology of medicine and food", Chinese dietetics regards a balanced diet as very important to maintain the balance between Yin and Yang, prevent diseases, and facilitate medical treatments.
