This article explores the impact of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on Brazilian Naturology over the last decades. It evaluates the incorporation of TCM principles and practices into Brazilian naturology courses, emphasizing the historical and cultural factors that have influenced this health movement. The paper contends that the integration of TCM has significantly influenced the development of naturology in Brazil, providing essential insights into its progression. However, it points out that the TCM training in Brazilian naturology does not meet the World Health Organization's recommendations. The article delves into the appropriation of TCM knowledge through Orientalism, noting that Chinese-born instructors are often employed merely as tokens to draw students instead of being assigned active, meaningful roles in the classroom.
