The concept and practice mode of general practice of TCM are characterized by advocating the holistic concept of "human centered", individualized comprehensive intervention of syndrome differentiation and treatment, prevention and health preservation concept of treating diseases before they occur, and paying attention to serving families and communities. The application of TCM general medicine diagnosis and treatment technology in community service mainly includes the management of chronic non infectious diseases(chronic diseases), the methods of physique identification and recuperation, the treatment of winter diseases with ointment in summer, the screening and application of TCM appropriate technology and other community health problems with TCM intervention.
