Traditional Western medicine is not practiced on every continent. In the eastern hemisphere, the human body and health are conceptualized differently. Neither of the two systems is necessarily incorrect; they simply emphasize distinct aspects of health. Afin de continuer à enrichir notre bibliothèque virtuelle, nous avons compilé des livres sur la médecine chinoise en format PDF afin d’élargir votre perspective on alternative therapies for the West.
Traditional Chinese medicine has successfully treated and prevented disease in Western countries. It is a practice with a history of over 3000 years, but it cannot be fully integrated into the Western scientific canon because it is founded on fundamentally different principles. You can learn about them by perusing our books on Chinese medicine, which are immediately downloadable.
Chinese medicine is defined as the practice of preventing and curing disease through the equilibrium of vital force or “qi.” It is believed that the body is marked by certain meridians through which the chi flows and that one should always seek an unimpeded path through which it can flow. One must also pursue the equilibrium of “yin” and “yang,” the opposing forces of energy that exist everywhere in the universe.
Various practices in Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, moxibustion, chi kung, acupressure, massage, and Chinese herbs, are used to balance energy. This form of medical practice does not permit physicians to treat by disease but rather by patient due to its holistic approach. For the Chinese, two patients with the same disease cannot be treated identically.
