Abstract

Syndrome differentiation and treatment, as one of the core principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been widely applied in acupuncture and herbal medicine. This paper compares the differences in the application of syndrome differentiation and treatment between acupuncture and herbal medicine. In terms of acupuncture treatment, syndrome differentiation and treatment can help acupuncturists choose appropriate acupoints and needle techniques to achieve better therapeutic effects. In terms of herbal medicine treatment, syndrome differentiation and treatment can assist physicians in selecting suitable combinations of Chinese herbal medicine to improve patients’ symptoms. Overall, syndrome differentiation and treatment plays a crucial role in both acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments, but there are still some differences in their specific applications.
