TCM
|
|
In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is considered that Man (the Microcosmos) is a reflection of the Universe (the Macrocosmos). Man is between Earth and Sky and responds to one and the other. The same rules that explain the changes in Nature, Yin- Yang, Wu Xing (5 elements) govern the functioning of our organism. The organism is the entity in which any function of one organ is directly related to others. Moreover there exists a direct relationship between what happens in our natural environment and what happens to Man (and vice versa). An illness is considered as an unbalance between the organism and the natural environment.

- Nowadays for most of us, TCM is principally limited, if not exclusively to acupuncture and sometimes including moxibustion. In reality, these last two therapies only represent a small part of the chinese healing art . In fact, alongside acupuncture, Chinese Medicine also includes:
- Moxibustion (energetic stimulation with Artemis sticks)
- Cupping (relieves pain with glass cups)
- Tui Na (massage and mobilisation)
- Chi Nei Tsang (massage of the internal organs and pain relief of the abdomen)
- Wai Qi Liaofa (transfer of energy technique)
- Qi Gong (healing gymnastics)
- Phytotherapy (rebalance by plants)
- Dietotherapy (food rebalance)
- Bath therapies (emersion, thalasso treatments)
- Cromo therapy (rebalance with monocromatic lights)
- Feng Shui (structured form of rebalancing your surroundings)

| :: The human concept |
|
 |
|
The occidental concept considers the human being as a mechanical and psychic entity. The multiple mechanisms, broken down and studied in every little detail, follow a rigourous order and their cohesion is formed through a complicated system: the nervous system. The other aspect of the human body, the psyche, is also studied but quite often by various different people. In the West, we either take an interest for the body, or for the spirit. To investigate, you need only to specialise in one part of the mechanism, which part is isolated from the whole entity and which can be fractioned all the way down to the molecule. The Traditional Chinese Concept is quite different. The human being is present, but not considered as a whole entitiy. The organic and psychic functions are closely related, follow the same rules and intertwine with one another. There also exists another difference, in which the human being, who lives in an exterior cosmic world, is an integral part of this cosmos; he lives with it and in it. They cannot be dissociated. On the contrary, the skin serves as a link between the cosmos and the human body. The good functioning of the system in the West is due to the nerves, in China the explanation is energetic and follows the laws of YIN/YANG and of the FIVE ELEMENTS. |
