Aims & Scope

Chinese Medicine is the official journal of the International Society for Chinese Medicine e.V. (SMS) and the Swiss Medical Society for Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (SAGA – TCM) and the first German-language journal to be devoted in depth to not only acupuncture but also the other aspects of Chinese medicine, e.g. pharmacology, dietetics, movement therapies (such as Taiji and Qigong) and Chinese manual therapy (Tuina).

In addition to publishing articles by our own authors, we are the first Western journal to regularly publish selected articles from original Chinese medical journals translated directly into German.
