Making Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Work for YouAcupuncture and Chinese medicine started some 5000 years ago - a time when people lived closer to nature and the changing seasons, and are more in harmony than we were today.
In recent years, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) starts to gain popularity in the West. Many TCM practioners have established a good reputation for their effective treatment on illnesses and disorders.
The Chinese has a new way of describing illness. For example, you do not catch a cold, you develop a disharmony in your body. To overcome illness, acupuncture, acupressure and herbs are used to restore the harmony in your body systems. What's the difference between the Western medicine and Chinese medicine?
This can be illustrated with this story - "the blind men and the elephant": You see, if we suppose the elephant is the human body and the blind men are the medical experts making diagnosis. Each of these specialists has an excellent and detailed understanding of his own areas of the elephant, but they may not see the whole picture. Generally, that's how the Western medicine work. A geneticist, an oncologist, and a psychiatrist might have different views on the cause of diseases - but they might even all be correct. The Chinese medicine, is one who sees the elephant from a distance. His view is not detailed or even always correct. But there is always something that one can use to prescript a treatment, when he is able to see the elephant as a whole animal interacting with the environment. Each medical traditions has its own strong points and shortcoming.
