CAPABILITIES OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a
system of health care founded on oriental views of the universe and it’s
models of existence such as Yin and Yang, Qi/energy, or the 5 Elements.
The appropriate treatment method(s) for a specific patient are selected
on the basis of information gathered by Traditional Chinese Medicine
diagnostic techniques. This information is then interpreted according to
Traditional Chinese Medicine principles about physiology, health and
illness. The results guide the use of acupuncture and Chinese Herbal
Medicine.
Oriental Medicine treats the entire range of human illness. It does not,
however, cure the entire range of illness. Such a claim is inaccurate
for any form of medicine. The following list gives a sample of the
capabilities of the medicine. It is drawn from three major textbooks
published and used in China’s traditional medical college system and in
the American schools of Oriental Medicine.
