By reviewing recent literature on TTM treatments, including Thai massage, herbal hot massage, and Thai herbal medicine, the paper aims to lay a foundation for TTM treatment in the world and to promote the convergence and development of traditional Chinese and Thai traditional medicine treatment. Additionally, it advocates for the integration and advancement of both Chinese and Thai traditional medical practices, while also encouraging the dissemination of traditional medicine to other countries globally.
