Chinese Medicine
Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive medical system based on thousands of years of study and practice. It views the body as inherently capable of healing itself, when given the appropriate conditions. While there is a complex physiology associated with Chinese Medicine, that can be understood biomedically, there is also a reverence for the wonderful power of the Mind/Spirit - Shen. Human beings are seen as a reflection of the rest of nature and can be understood in similar terms - the 5 elements, Yin and Yang. While it can be tempting to focus on the scientific explanations for acupuncture's effectiveness, of which there are many, it is important to honor the roots of this medicine - its profound beauty and poetic understanding of the body.
