Traditional Chinese medicine English
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to a comprehensive science that focuses on the theory and practical experience of TCM and studies the transformation law of health and diseases in human life activities and their prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and health care. Guided by the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, TCM studies the physiological and pathological pharmacology of human body and its relationship with the natural environment from the perspective of dynamic whole, and seeks the most effective methods to prevent and treat diseases.
The birth of Chinese medicine:
According to the records of some diseases and treatments in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the ancestors across Huqiao had mastered the original acupuncture technique 8,000 years ago, and the successful craniotomy at Dawenkou cultural site 5,000-5,200 years ago can fully prove it!
The theory of five elements is an important achievement of China's ancient philosophy. The five elements are wood, fire, earth, gold and water, but this does not represent five substances, but five attributes.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the five elements reflect the relationship between the five systems of the human body and these five attributes. The five symbols of wood, fire, earth, gold and water respectively represent the five systems led by liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) does not study the theory of how microscopic viruses and bacteria act on the human body, but the relationship between various systems of the whole human body. Through TCM, massage, acupuncture and even psychological effects, the balance between various systems is adjusted to maintain good health.
