Mainstream medicine stresses knowledge of anatomy or the components of the body that range from organ systems to molecules. In contrast, Chinese medicine considers the person to be a little world or microcosm that interacts with the larger universe (macrocosm)
Nonetheless, many conventional health care professionals will presume that what has not been shown in a double-blind clinical trial cannot be genuine. They are letting go of their mutual mistrust and starting to see one other as coworkers. On the other hand, alternative therapists may exaggerate the dangers of traditional medicine and the safety or effectiveness of the therapies they provide. Find a mainstream physician who is open to alternative traditions and tell them what you want to attempt. Avoid alternative practitioners that seem to make exaggerated promises about their treatments.
A practitioner who understands the limits of the system they are practicing and is prepared to make an appropriate referral to another type of therapy or accept adjunctive usage of another treatment system provides the finest care.
Chinese Philosophy
Although Chinese philosophy believes that extreme sensual pleasure contradicts the Way, this worldview is far from puritanical. Respect for moderation and balance fosters a more tolerant attitude and a refusal to define any pleasure or desire as inherently or evil. While we may take pleasure in our liberal, forgiving attitude toward religious, cultural, and sexual diversity, black-and-white thinking continues to rule our culture in subtle ways. Until recently, American doctors were predisposed to consider moderate coffee and alcohol use to be harmful. Caffeine and alcohol, on the other hand, have medicinal uses in Chinese medicine. Excessive usage is the source of imbalances and illness.
According to Oriental medicine concepts, completely restoring health balance and harmony may require paying attention to many areas of your inner and outer life, including your emotions, preoccupations, activities, breathing patterns, and diet. While the specific herbal and acupressure treatments show how Oriental medicine can be used to treat particular symptoms, we hope that this introduction to traditional Chinese medicine inspires you to learn more about it, perhaps by consulting a practitioner and learning how Oriental medicine can benefit your overall health.
