For every sickness there is a remedy

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

As Westerners, we often view the world around us and our own sense of health and well-being as two separate things: We struggle to change or influence the forces and people that we believe hold power over us.

The ancient Chinese world view did not make this distinction; power was perceived as universal, an integral part of the whole person—a product of health, strength and energy that came from within. Traditional Chinese medicine believed that all herbs and foods had the power to enhance overall health and energy. By using selected herbs to nourish, strengthen and release energy blockages from various functions in the body, ancient Chinese herbalists sought to prevent illness before it appeared.

Herbal Therapy

Because the ancient Chinese were an agrarian people, the imagery of their herbal philosophy comes from the natural elements. The cycles of life—the seasons, natural phenomena, physical elements, even the energy meridians and Organ systems which they observed followed certain patterns. The Chinese organized these patterns into five primary groups called the Five Elements, each named for an element in nature and a major organ system associated with it. Seasons, tastes and other attributes were assigned to one of these groups.

For example, Winter, which is cold and Yin, corresponds to the Water Element, ruling the Kidney organ system. Winter turns to Spring, the Wood element—still cool, less Yin, ruling the Liver system. Then comes Summer, the Fire element, with the attributes of Yang, growth and heat, ruling the Heart center. Late Summer, the Earth element, follows as the season of harvest and transformation, ruling the Organ called the Spleen. Next is Autumn, the Metal element, declining and cooling, corresponding with the Lung organ system; this is followed, inevitably, by Winter.
