相互联系；它非常重视保持健康，认为健康主要取炼、心态平和以及意志力等因素的影响。
Western medicine originated in ancient Greece, it stressed that the heart and body, the human body and nature to each other; It attaches great importance to the healthy, think that health mainly depends on the way of life, the psychological and emotional state, the environment, diet, exercise, gentle state of mind and will power factors.中医理论体系初步形成于战国至两汉时期，《黄帝内经》《难经》《伤寒杂病论》《神农本草经》四大医学典籍可作为中医学理论初步形成的标志。

西医单纯地靠人类的医药技术来对抗疾病，把人体的自我防御、自我修复能力放到次要的地位，甚至漠视它的存在。
西医信奉人类的智慧，相信科技，中医更多的依靠增强人体自身的能力来对付疾病，在“治”和“养”上更偏重于“养”，“治”是外力，“养”是内力，也就是身体自身的自我修复能力。
Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine is the biggest difference in the way of thinking. Western medicine simply by human medical technology to the fight against disease, the human body is self defense, self-repairing ability to the fringes, even ignore it. Western medicine believe in human wisdom, believe that technology, traditional Chinese medicine to rely more on enhancement of human body oneself ability to deal with the disease, in "governance" and "raise" more stress to the "raise", "cure" is outside force, "raise" is the internal force, also is the body's own ability to repair itself. 中医和西医的第二个区别就是有没有整体观。
中医把人体看成一个不可分割的整体，每个器官、组织之间都是联在一起的，一荣俱荣，一损俱损。
比如“五行五脏”认为，人体器官最重要的就是五脏，任何疾病的产生都与五脏功能下降有直接或间接的关系。
任何一个内脏都通过相生相克与其他器官联系起来。
中医的整体观还体现了人与自然的关系，人与社会的关系，人和自然人和社会都是一个整体，人体得了病可以从自然方面来和社会方面来求治。
比如中医的四时养生，春夏秋冬的季节变化要求人的衣食住行做出相应的调整，否则就会影响健康。
中医特别强调人的情志，而情志主要体现在人际关系上，人与社会的和谐就是健康的保证。
西医没有整体观念。
中医治得病的人，而西医治人得的病。
Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine second difference there's overall concept. TCM the human body as an integral whole, each organ, tissue is between the bound together, a glorious all glory, broken.

西医按照生理系统和器官来分科，而且越来越细。
医学专业也越来越专科化，现在分出来的疾病已达到上万种，而且还在细分下去。
西医的治病和护理也是界限分明的，护士严格执行医嘱。
医疗和养护也是分开的，强调康复锻炼。
还有心理治疗也不同，西医有专门的心理医师供咨询和治疗。
而中医的整体性表现在，疾病的分类以内脏功能和重大病因为主，偏于粗略。
而且医护不分，讲究综合治疗。
在治病过程中心理治疗贯穿治疗的始终。
The third difference is different medical model. Western medicine according to physiological system and organs to branch, and more and more fine. Medical professional also more and more specialized subject, which now cent come out of disease has already reached the tens of thousands of species, but also in the subdivision down.

And health care is not divided, pay attention to thecomprehensive treatment. In the process of treating psychological treatment through treatment all the time.中医和西医的第四个区别就是诊断方式的不同。
中医诊断“望、闻、问、切”。
西医的诊断主要是靠仪器，仪器诊断的只能是结果。
仪器是没有生命的，仪器得到的数据不能根据患者的特殊情况来做灵活的判断，比如不能根据患者的脸色、形体、行为、语言等的不同来诊断病情。
Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine is the fourth difference between the different methods of diagnosis. Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis "looking, smell, ask, cut". Western medicine diagnosis is mainly rely on equipment, instrument of diagnosis can only be the result. The instrument is not life, the data from the instrument according to the special situation of the patients not to do flexible judgment, for example, can't according to patients with face, body, behavior, such as language of different to the patient.中医和西医的第五个区别就是适应疾病类型不同。
