TCM and Ayurveda
As China and India had seen the dawn of civilizations almost in the same time, one can notice a lot of common practices and concepts in Ayurveda (in Indian Context) and Qigong (in Chinese context). TCM is a recognized phenomenon all over the world. The objective of TCM is the free-flow of qi to create a balance between yin and yang as well as an equal distribution of energy levels in all the energy pathways of the body.
But how does it actually work? You need to tune into tsubos and harmonize the energy-points of the body.
A clean mind leads to the life force Qi and in turn Qi leads to unobstructed blood flow. So, the body and mind are not two complete separate icons, they are interconnected and improper functioning of one casts an adverse effect on the other.
In a nutshell we can say that the mind is cohesive to the body to present a congenial environment for an individual to fight against the world at large.
The main essence of the western science and practices was to treat body, emotions, mind and spirit separately, but the primitive civilizations like Chinese and Indians always found a matching wavelength between body, mind and spirit.
Now lets have a quick look at the root cause of all diseases, in other words the cause that creates the imbalance between the yin and yang.
TCM simplifies the internal mechanism by identifying five key organs namely kidney, liver, spleen, heart and the lungs.
If the entire body is thought to be a network of various organs and blood vessels, then these five are essentially the hubs through which all the energies flow, are controlled and routed. Any external ailment is also directly a reaction of malfunctioning of any of these vital organs.
To conclude we can say that the energy medicine had been known and practiced amongst all old civilizations for ages, which have found its resurgence in the western countries only now.
