Chinese Herbal
Medicine is based on a "five element theory"
and those elements are wood, earth, metal, fire, and
water. Our bodies have two energy channels (meridians)
representing organ systems in each of those five elements
of nature. |

|
Optimally, these all work
in balance and in synchronized harmony We will
short circuit our energy systems ( like our nervous
system) by lack of water, the basic conductor
of electrical energy. That creates imbalance which
leads to disease disorder and illness. Basic health
is determined by what goes into and comes out
of our bodies. How and what we think and believe
determines how we manage this system and our spirit
or Qi or energy is the driving force of life.

Now, about half of Chinese
medical practitioners in China are Traditional
Chinese medicine doctors and half of them practicing
Western Medicine. They are both treated equally
in China in medical society. Both have their University
Education( the person who will practice Chinese
medicine go to a traditional Chinese medicine
school for 5 years and the west medical practitioners
go to a medical school for 5 years ) and pass
different license examings to have their own license
and practice in different clinics. For nearly
every hospital there are two kinds of doctors
practicing in different fields and some time cooperate
to help one patient. |
