Abstract

The recent introduction of the systems biology or systems medicine opens a new horizon in the field of traditional oriental medicine research. Until now many recent researches of traditional medicine have been conducted based upon reductionist approach, but traditional medicine should be treated by a holistic approach. In this short review, I outlined usefulness of systems approach in medicine and proposed a potential application area of traditional medicine research.
