Chinese Medicine is a system of diagnosis and treatment that has been developed over 3000 years in Asia. Chinese Medicine consider human body is unique and share the same philosophy that the holistic concept of the universe outlined in the spiritual insights of Daoism, and it has produced a highly sophisticated se of practices deigned to cure illness and to maintain health and well-being.
When we think of medicine practices in the West, we make the valid assumption that the skill of the doctor are funded on scientific search regarding how the body works and what mechanisms can go wrong in the course of illness. Hence, the practise of medicine, as the patient experiences it, is based on a firm foundation of scientific principle. It is important to understand that the subtlety and complexities of Chinese Medicine are based on the equally firm philosophies and principle that, while differing dramatically from those in the West, are nonetheless rigorous and valid.
The concept of Yin and Yang is Fundamental to an understanding of Chinese medicine. The ideas of Yin and Yang concept developed form observing the physical world that nature appears to group into pairs of mutually dependent opposites, each giving meaning to the other. For example, the concept of night has no meaning without the concept of day, the concept of up has meaning when a concept of down. All the Yin and Yang are fundamentally interdependent in their relationship.
Chinese medicine views the body in terms of Yin and Yang aspects. A dynamic balance between these Yin and Yang aspects of the body is characterised by a healthy state, and, by implication, an unhealth state is indicative of some imbalance between the Yin and Yang of the body.
Theories of the Five Elements emerged from and observation of the various groups of dynamic processes, functions, and characteristics observed in the natural world. Each element is seen as having a series of correspondences relating both to the natural world and to the human body. The five elements are Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood. Our internal organs categorised under five element aspect Heart (Fire), Spleen(Earth), Lung(Metal), Kidney (Water) and Liver (Wood). The Five-Element view is important form the perspective of demonstrating the way in which the Chinese system of medicine has built on the Daoist view of balance, process, and harmony in the natural world.
