Traditional Chinese medicine is a comprehensive system of medicine, directed by concept of holism & syndrome differentiation, based on physiology & pathology of viscera & meridians, it diagnoses according to concept of holism, and treats by syndrome differentiation. Traditional Chinese medicine is a comprehensive system of medicine characterized by its own theoretical basis and practical experience. It includes herbal medicine, acupuncture and other non-medication therapies. Owing to its unique paradigm and remarkable efficacy with fewer adverse effects, this system of medicine has been attracting more and more interest internationally. The ancient Chinese believed that there is a universal life energy, called Chi (Qi), present in all things ranging from infinitely tiny molecules to living breathing human beings. Visualize if you will, rivers that flood and cause disasters or an electrical grid short-circuiting that causes blackouts etc. This is what happens to our somatic and spiritual landscapes when our Chi is not flowing harmoniously. This Chi circulates throughout the body along specific pathways or meridians. As long as this energy flows freely throughout the meridians, health is maintained, but once the flow of energy is blocked, the homeostatic system is disrupted resulting in pain or illness. |
