Traditional Chinese Medicine

With a history of 2000 to 3000 years or more, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has formed a unique system to diagnose and treat illness beginning with keeping the balance between Yin and Yang.

 Chinese medicine is a system of medicine based on the idea that an energy, called qi, flows along pathways in the body called meridians. In this belief, if the flow of qi along these meridians is blocked or unbalanced, illness can occur. Qi becomes blocked from emotional trauma, seasonal changes, diet, accidents, stress, overwork etc.

In China, doctors have practiced Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and it is gaining in popularity in many Western countries. The best way to learn and know Qi is to experience it personally through QiGong, Tai Qi, meditation, acupuncture etc.

Over 23 centuries years old, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has formed a unique system to diagnose and cure illness as recorded in earliest known saved medicine book Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor’s classic).  The TCM approach is fundamentally different from that of Western medicine because it is based on the entire body working together and with nature, the holistic understanding of the universe as described in Daoism.

from Chinese Medicine History,

The Dao (Tao) Te Ching by Lao Tzu,

The Book of the Way translated by Dwight Goddard & Sam Torode,

chapter 42: Yin & Yang

The Tao produces unity;

unity produces duality;

duality produces trinity;

trinity produces all things.

 

All things contain both the negative principle (yin)

and the positive principle (yang).

The third principle, energetic vitality (chi),

makes them harmonious.

 

There are some things which it is a gain to lose,

and a loss to gain.

 

This may not be what they teach in school,

but it is the first lesson in the Tao.
