ABSTRACT: With the development of medical technology, the
problem of fragmentation of medical research has become increasingly prominent,
and a series of iatrogenic diseases, drug-induced diseases and drug toxicity
and side effects have resulted in an increase in the number of diseases. In the
face of these problems, the medical concept has been re-examined and
re-thought. The concept of the holistic view of the unity of nature and man in
traditional Chinese medicine has certain enlightenment for dealing with the
problems in the current medical development. Based on the holistic view of the
unity of nature and man, the overall connection between human’s heart and body
and nature is explained, and the further construction of TCM psychosomatic
medicine is conducive to guiding the diagnosis and treatment of clinical
diseases, and providing new enlightenment for the current medical concept
thinking and clinical disease research.
