Description

Originating from ancient Chinese medicine, Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM) has a history spanning more than two thousand years. TEAM gained global recognition in the early 21st century with its inclusion in the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11). This achievement is one result of the standardization efforts promoted by the author during a five-year tenure as a Regional Adviser at WHO/WPRO from 2003. At that time, the standardization of TEAM encompassed standard terminology, acupuncture point locations, diagnostic classifications, and clinical practice guidelines. These initiatives have revolutionized TEAM.

This book provides a vivid account of the process, presented as a journal.
