Each TCM specialty applies core principles of pattern differentiation and holistic treatment, but with emphasis on the particular needs of the patient:
 

  • Gynaecology: Blood, Chong-Ren, Kidney-Liver harmony

  • Paediatrics: Immature Qi, Spleen and Lung vulnerability

  • Psychiatry: Shen anchoring, Heart-Kidney balance, Phlegm-Heat clearance

  • Esoteric acupuncture: Consciousness, higher-level energetics

  • Oncology: Strengthening Zheng Qi, clearing Toxins, softening masses

  • Internal medicine: Broad organ system focus using Zang-Fu, meridians, and fluids.


Together, these specialties form a comprehensive, adaptable, and deeply integrative system of care — capable of addressing the full spectrum of human health, from physical too emotional to spiritual.

Paediatrics

中医儿科
Zhōng yī ér kē

Infants and children: digestion, immunity, development, respiratory conditions, fevers, skin disorders

​

  • Children's physiology is seen as “pure Yang” but immature — their Zang-Fu are delicate.

  • Observation (skin colour, cry, behaviour), pulse is often hard to take in young children.

  • Thumb vein diagnosis (guàn mài 关脉) is sometimes used in infants

TCM Specialties

These specialties apply the core theories of TCM — such as Yin-Yang, Qi, Blood, Zang-Fu, meridians, Five Elements, and Shen — within their specific clinical focus. Each discipline contributes to both diagnosis and treatment, using tailored approaches based on pattern differentiation (辨证论治). The key specialties in TCM include:
