One of the important teachings in traditional Chinese medicine revolves around preventive measures （未病是个专门概念，无法准确直翻，这里译成防患未然的意思）, which largely consist of two aspects. One is the prevention of disease in healthy conditions, another is the prevention of disease deterioration. Both aspects agree with the modern concept of sub-health.
Traditional Chinese medicine nursing uses rigorous scientific methods: （这里的很多方法也是中医理论，只能就近翻译，使英语读者可以理解）inpidual-specific differentiative nursing, emotion nursing, time nursing, food and nutritien nursing and prescription case by case with focus on treatment method and treatment hours, etc.
Besides, TCM nursing also has a system of unique tenchinques different from modern western nursing. Acupuncture, massage, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha （也可以用scraping,但刮痧现在在西方比较多人了解了，很多时候直称其名）, transdermal patch, cryotherapy, fumigation, suppository, inhalation, Tai Chi etc. These techniques aim to activate the self-protection mechanisms of human body, cure diseases and improve overall health. Compared with western nursing these techniques have wider therapuetic range, are easier to operate, economical and safe, have less side effects and good therapuetic effects.
