Traditional Chinese medicine has been proposed as a method of treating HIV infection, though despite being used extensively in and outside of China, there is limited evidence it is effective. There is some evidence that certain Chinese herbal medicines may help in relieving symptoms of AIDS, but there is no evidence TCM has a significant effect on a patient's HIV status.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or medicine:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“After you eat always take a walk, and you’ll never have to go to a medicine shop.”
—Chinese proverb.
