ÖZET
 Tarih boyunca insanlığın var olmasıyla beraber, çeşitli hastalıklar ortaya çıkmış ve bu hastalıklara çözüm bulmak için doğadan ve deneyimlerden edinilen bilgilerle geleneksel tedavi yöntemlerinin ve dolayısıyla da geleneksel tıbbın temelleri atılmıştır. Dünya genelinde pek çok farklı geleneksel tıp uygulamaları ve bunlara ait farklı tedavi yöntemleri bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, günümüzde dahi kullanımı yaygın olan tedavi yöntemlerini içinde barındıran geleneksel Çin tıbbı üzerinde durulmuştur. Geleneksel Çin tıbbı, birçok tedavi metodunun çok büyük bir hızla güncelliğini kaybettiği ve yerini modern tıp tedavi yöntemlerine bıraktığı günümüz koşullarında bile önemini korumaktadır. Hatta gün geçtikçe geleneksel Çin tıbbı üzerindeki ilgi yoğunlaşmaktadır. Bu yüzden bu derlemede, geleneksel Çin tıbbının tarihçesi, kaynakları, tedavi yöntemleri, esasları ve prensipleri hakkındaki literatür çalışmaları incelenerek değerlendirilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra geleneksel Çin tıbbında tedavide kullanılan bitkilerden bahsedilmiş, yapılmış olan çalışmalar esas alınarak bu bitkilerin önemi vurgulanmış ve en sık kullanılan bitkiler üzerinde durulmuştur. Günümüzde hâlâ kullanılmakta olan tedavi yöntemleri hakkında bilgiler verilmiş, modern tıp uygulamaları ile benzerliklerine değinilmiştir. Bunun yanında, bu uygulamaların güncelliğini korumasından dolayı gelecekte atılması uygun olan adımların önemi belirtilmiştir.
