The Traditional Chinese Medicine World Foundation is a not-for-profit based in New York that informs both the public and healthcare practitioners about classical traditional Chinese medicine and natural self-healing approaches. Founded in 1995 by Dr. Nan Lu, OMD, it conducts educational programs, publications, conferences, and practitioner resources to advance authentic TCM within Western healthcare. The organization positions itself as a primary source of information on the philosophy, principles, modalities, and practice of authentic TCM, including classical internal martial arts such as Qigong and Taiji. Its work seeks to broaden healthcare options, promote prevention and self-care, and foster dialogue and interdisciplinary collaboration between Western and Eastern medical communities. Its education covers the full spectrum of TCM—from herbal therapy and acupuncture to acupressure, internal martial arts, dietary applications, and Chinese psychology—and targets the general public, healthcare professionals, and organizations across mainstream and complementary and alternative medicine communities, with volunteers contributing to its mission.
