Traditional Medicine World Congress-TMC 2026

Traditional Japanese Medicine is a holistic healthcare system deeply influenced by ancient Chinese medical traditions and adapted over centuries to Japanese culture and clinical practice. Central to this system is Kampo medicine, which uses standardized herbal formulations along with diagnostic techniques such as abdominal palpation, pulse diagnosis, and observation. This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will explore the principles, therapies, and modern applications of Traditional Japanese Medicine.

The session will cover Kampo herbal prescriptions, acupuncture, moxibustion, and lifestyle-based therapeutic approaches. Discussions will also focus on clinical evidence, safety, regulation, and the integration of Traditional Japanese Medicine into Japan’s modern healthcare system. By highlighting both historical foundations and contemporary research, this session aims to promote global understanding of Traditional Japanese Medicine and its role in integrative, patient-centered healthcare.
