This paper addresses the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine,
identifying the origins, characteristics and influences of the metaphysical
ideas that inspire it.
This paper adopts the perspective of the authors of the English language
who refer to both the philosophy of science and the theory of knowledge
as epistemology.
According to the Sinological research of UNSCHULD (1985), ch'i in classical
Chinese thought designates the subtlest material influences underlying
all physiological and pathological changes.
UNSCHULD (1986) argues that the employment of the concept of energy, borrowed
from Physics, so as to qualify the notions of human physiology and etiology
of diseases in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a fact that is very common
in current textbooks, results in a distortion in understanding these notions.

inward to the zang fu, up to the vertex and down to the feet.

This book introduces the Western reader to the essential aspects
of Chinese culture and philosophy and presents my ideas about the Taichi
philosophy.
Emphasizing that Chinese philosophy and culture are the roots of traditional
Chinese medicine, the book begins with a discussion of culture in general
and Chinese culture in particular.
The second level of culture deals with the dynamics of social interaction.
The third level of culture deals with the human heart.
This shroud comes from a time when Yin and Yang were known, but before
the idea of the Taichi circle, which came 1,000 years later.

For thousand years, Chinese people have tried and practiced
this medicine faithfully, diagnosed and treated most of the diseases known
to mankind.
In fact, Chinese medicine has been the only medicine that treated Chinese
until late 19th century, when western medicine was introduced into China.
The cons are: western medicine tends to only diagnose and treat diseases
that physically present themselves, either by the image they scan or the
data they collect or any other measures, or those diseases that are or

Chinese herbal medicine is part of a larger healing system
called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which also includes acupuncture,
massage dietary advice and exercise.
Chinese herbs are prescribed to normalise imbalanced energy, or Qi (pronounced
'chee'), that runs through invisible meridians in the body.
Whether or not the philosophy is believed, studies have shown Chinese
herbal medicines to be successful in treating a range of disorders, particularly
gynaecological and gastrointestinal disorders.
The ancient Chinese proposed that every living thing is sustained by a
balance of two opposing forces of energy, called Yin and Yang.
