Conclusion:
From the viewpoint of traditional Chinese medicine metabolic syndrome is multicomponent. It develops during the whole human life. A number of patient’s particular features, such as hereditary pathology, way of life, environment, nutrition and the state of psychoemotional sphere, play a crucial role in development of several particular syndromes. The whole of these syndromes is known in Western medicine as metabolic syndrome. Considering the strong influence of MS upon the development of cardiovascular complications, its modern diagnostics should take a crucial position in medical practice. MS prophylaxis should be conducted regularly since early childhood and based upon the diagnosis. We believe that acupuncture, Korean Sutczi Chimsur therapy, homoeopathy, phytotherapy and Ayurveda play an important role in MS treatment. A correction conducted with the use of official medications is expedient when deling with bad cases of MS. Only the complex use of all prophylaxis and treatment methods may lead to positive results.
