Nourishment and adjustment over treatment or 30% treatment and 70 % nourishment, san fen zhi qi fen yang in Chinese, a vernacular perpetuated itself in TCM for centuries.
It is still an important concept deeply rooted in today's nursing care of TCM that highlights the value of prevention and rehabilitation in dealing with both mental and physical disorders.
Through nourishment and adjustment, not merely treatment provided by doctors, TCM nursing as Prof. Cui Yongqiang emphasized in the 7 Primary Features of TCM Nursing Care provides a unique perspective and approach to patient care and caring, emphasizing holism, mind－body intervention and care based on syndrome differentiation of TCM theory，and purposefully helping patients stay positive through being mindful of any symptom improvement.
After surgery or immunotherapy, for example, a cancer survivor like many other patients with chronic illness starts another journey of nourishment and adjustment using complementary approaches including dietary guideline, Taichi, acupressure, and mind-body exercise as mental adjustment, etc.
Come and experience the truly amazing eleven-year journey with Prof. Cui Yongqiang, chairman of the annual event exploring old but gold, culturally appropriate, scientifically sound and technically safe TCM nursing as a viable option and one more choice for patients and caregivers.
