Although acupuncture was first introduced to Greece in about 1938, it was not until 1973 that an institution was created to teach it, where its study was limited to medical doctors (MDs). Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was not taught to non-MDs until 2004. Even today, TCM has not been integrated into the Greek health system, and in a few exceptions, TCM was mainly associated with pain management. A few private schools teach TCM theory and practice in the fields of acupuncture, moxibustion, herbology, gua sha, and tui na (Chinese massage). This study examines the use of Chinese single herbs and formulas for prevention or treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic in Greece, as well as issues with the availability of Chinese herbs and proposals for substitutes from the traditional Greek medicine point of view.
尽管针灸大约在1938年首次传入希腊，但直到1973年才创建了一个机构来教授针灸，其研究仅限于医学博士。直到2004年才开始向非医学博士教授传统中医。即使在今天，传统中医也尚未融入希腊的卫生系统，在少数例外情况下，传统中医主要与疼痛管理相关。一些私立学校教授针灸、艾灸、草药学、刮痧和推拿（中医按摩）领域的中医理论和实践。本研究考察了希腊在新冠疫情期间使用单味中药和中药配方进行预防或治疗的情况，以及中药的可得性问题，并从希腊传统医学的角度提出了替代建议。
