Abstract: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) was categorized as a mental disorder by ICD-11 in 2018; increasing studies explored the effects of interventions and possible factors that correlated to etiology. Although Western therapies have advanced globally, native Chinese therapies provided a unique perspective to analyze and treat gaming disorders. This study reviewed and elaborated in-depth to introduce traditional Chinese therapies, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Buddhist approaches. This study systematically summarized the principles of therapies of TCM and Buddhist approaches and how they work for IGD. By reviewing the Chinese perspective’s etiology and pathogenesis, traditional Chinese pharmacology, dialectical diagnosis, acupuncture and physical therapies, psychotherapies, and Buddhist approaches, this study pointed out the differences between Chinese indigenous therapies and Western therapies. In addition, we discussed the uniqueness of oriental philosophic interventions for building a bridge between Western and Chinese conversation in the development of clinical cross-cultural practice.
