Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine uses five different ways to restore the balance to the people
like acupuncture & moxibustion, dietary, regulation, herbal, massages & therapeutic
exercise . Forms of treatment differ according to the disease & how your disharmony
or imbalance you were . They used Western Modalities of Treatment .

Chinese medicine is over 2,000 years old & it all started in eastern asia, & now
China, Tibet, Vietnam, Korea & Japan all use this type of medicine today . the first
written chinese medical treatises were recorded in 206 BC - AD 22 which dated
from Han Dynasty . he was considered to be the holy man 7 he lived the mountains of China around 3500
BC . he practiced what is called the "Way of Long Life." this medical treatment
included a diet based off of herbs and other plants . he also did kung-fu exercises &
special breathing techniques that was to be thought to improving vitality and life
expectancy .

After the Han Dynasty the next age of Chinese medicine was under the Tang
Emperors . The Tan Emperor ruled from 608 AD to 906 AD . First Tang emperor
made China's first medical school in 629 AD . Under the Song and Ming
dynasties . New medical schools were built in their curricula and qualifying
examinations were a main thing . the traditional herbal prescriptions were written down and collected in
encyclopedias . One main difference between the development of medicine in China and in the West is the
big interest in the West in surgical and techniques . The nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the
opening of China to the West led to the establishment of Western - style medical schools in Shanghai and
other large cities . A growing rivalry between the two traditions of medicine . In 1929 a group of Chinese
physicians who had studied Western medicine about the government to ban traditional Chinese medicine
is move was opposed, and by 1933 the Nationalist government appointed a chief justice of the Chinese
Supreme Court to systematize and promote the traditional system of medicine. In contemporary China,
both traditional and Western forms of medicine are practiced alongside each other (

Chinese physicians did not learn about the structures of the

human body from dissection because they thought that cutting into
a body insulted the person's ancestors . instead they used yin yang
to find out way you were feeling ill or what diseases you had
caught . they would use herbs and make blisters using these items
because they thought that the blisters were the infection being
pulled out of your body . the lifespan is about 20 - 30 years .

Chinese medicine is a very interesting and it is cool to see how people used different cultures uses
different way to treat infection and other infection and diseases . its nice to see how other people treated
these kind of infection like using herbs and use a thing called yin yang and not cutting open the body
because they believed it was wrong it cool and i love how Chinese medicine works and how they feel
about what is going in their bodys and things like that .
