Eastern Medicine

Eastern Medicine incorporates the three elements of life: vital life force, the mind, and the physical body.

Eastern Medicine holds the principle that Mother Nature has already provided each of us with everything that we need in order to promote and maintain a healthy and natural condition. According to Eastern philosophy, man is made up of three different elements: Ki (Life Force or Vital Energy), the mind (or mental condition), and the physical body. While Western medicines concentrates on the body, the Eastern medical doctor views each patient as an equal combination of these three aspects.

Another aspect of the difference between Oriental and Western medicine can be described as Oriental treats the Yang and Western treats the Yin. Both Western and Chinese systems have their place. Some believe that the greatest strength of Western Medicine is in it's trauma care and therapies for acute problems, while Chinese medicine excels in the areas of chronic problems and preventive medicine.


Tradtional Chinese Medicine is not just a medicine, but an entire way of life. Based on 5000 years of experience and application, Tradtional Chinese Medicine or TCM for short, is rooted in Confucian, Taoist and Buddhist philosophies, and developed from an agrarian culture. Thus, TCM views each of us as part of one unbroken whole, a microcosm, or smaller universe of Nature. In healing disease, TCM treats the causes of illness rather than the disease itself. It does so using two systems. One, called the "Eight Principles," identifies the location, energy and severity of an illness. It uses terms such as internal, external, deficient and excess and the second system, called the "Five Phases," uses natural elements to differentiate the relationships between the five organ systems and their networks. These two systems together help define the patterns of disease in the body. The identified patterns of disease are treated by matching the energies of herbs to that of the disease pattern. Herbs have energetic qualities derived from their heating or cooling energies and then it is determined which herb is most suited to treat the disease.
