Chinese medicine explained gracefully 😌🍃🎐

For folks who are not familiar with classical Chinese medicine

Different from Western medicine that has a deductive way of thinking, Chinese medicine has adopted an inductive perspective on health and disease. The Ancient Chinese believed that if we keep analyzing and gazing closer and closer into things we will be lost in the details. Chinese medicine views the human body as a microcosmic system resonating with nature and it has the wisdom to correct itself and find its balance. When we fall ill, our body always tries its best to compensate for the parts that are affected by diseases. CM divides the body into twelve interrelated functional organ systems; if one system’s function is compromised for some reason, its paired systems will naturally use their resources to support the weakened system. There are many possibilities depending on a person’s constitution and condition. What’s universal is that each of our organ systems has its unique way of presenting its dysfunctions. By looking at symptom patterns a clinician is able to figure out which organ system(s) can be supported in order to bring the body back to its healthy state.

Western medications have side effects because it only focuses on the part of the body that is presenting dysfunctions, without seeing the body as a whole ecosystem. Pharmaceuticals such as sleeping pills and antidepressants can stop the symptoms very quickly and effectively, but patients often develop addiction or resistance to the chemical substance, or burdening other organs due to their toxicity. The purpose of Chinese medicine is not to paralyze functions of the body’s system by providing the body with chemicals and hormones that the body fails to produce on its own. Chinese medicine is all about sending the body signals by using acupuncture needles, herbs and other methods to guide it to restore its natural and healthy functions. Chinese medicine is a system designed to assist the body to return to its healthy balance, by treating the body and its functions symbolically. It is a very experiencial, imaginative science and it is not easy to comprehend and learn if we believe modern science is the only approach to truths.

Chinese medicine believes that reality is often more fluid and flexible than we want to believe, that we have to be humble enough to explore with the patients to find out what approach works for them.
