The Fundamental Precepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine


“From well before the beginning of China’s imperial history, there were naturalistic theories of health and disease based upon ideas about man’s relationship with the heavens and earth, the weather, and the passing of the seasons. Traditional Chinese Medicine, which includes ancient Chinese healthcare through a wide-ranging array of natural wellness methods, embraces an extensive variety of different traditions.”
