Recently, Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM) has shown its unique superiority in improving clinical symptoms and contraction function of the gallbladder for patients with cholecystitis. This article primarily investigated the key points of common syndromes, TCM nursing methods and healthy guidance of cholecystitis, aiming at maintaining and developing the strengths of TCM, improving its efficacy and standardizing its behavior.
