The science and the practice of Chinese medicine differ significantly from the modern form of medicine. As a result, the functionality difference has attracted diverse views and critics from all parts of the world.Unlike modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine believes in the existence of energy called “Qi” which plays a vital role in determining the body fictionality. The doctor or the specialist that practice Chinese medicine believe that lack of balance of the body energy od one of the core indicators of illnesses in the body (Li, 2016).
