    Thank you for sharing the video, it is very similar to Tai Chi, in fact I'm not sure what the difference is. This type of exercise seems more like a meditation in motion.

    I don't think anything can withstand centuries of change and still be a significant contender in healthcare, there has always been 'something in it', it is simply that Western medicine doesn't understand it, therefore ridicules it.

    Understanding the Five Elements

    “Everything that appears in the physical realm is always connected with energy flow at the invisible level.” – Grand Master Lu
    On a physical level, your body expresses the energetic imbalances that are happening deep within. Through studying the Five Element Framework, we begin to understand that symptoms are simply the body’s way of talking. For example, the emotion of fear as well as issues with the bones or teeth directly relate to the Kidney. Likewise, worry and overthinking are related to the Spleen and Stomach, as are food allergies, muscular problems and migraines in the center of the forehead. The Five Element theory becomes the key to decoding the body’s messages. That’s when each individual begins the difficult work of delving inward to understand the body from a different perspective—one based on an intuitive knowing, not on fear, worry or concern.

    Preventing Dis-Ease
    Every human being is born with a gift—the intuitive wisdom to heal the body from all of its ailments. It also has the incredible ability to keep the body in harmony, thereby preventing dis-ease in any form. Prevention is the focus of TCM. However, people often turn to alternative medicines when their bodies are so far out of balance that they are calling out for help. Studying the Five Element Framework helps the individual to reawaken its innate healing ability. It fine tunes our healing powers and ups our healing potential. A true understanding of this framework is like having a secret medical bag in your back pocket. It’s something that’s accessible at any time and in any place.

    This ancient and Universal framework embodies so much more than the human being and its emotional and physical components. The Five Elements reflects a deep knowing of natural law and provides a blueprint for understanding all of Nature and our role within it. Interconnections are everywhere. Just as nothing in Nature can truly be viewed in isolation (a plant or animal must be studied within its habitat and within its larger ecosystem), nothing in the human body can be separated. All organ systems have a physical and an energetic function, which relates to the five major elements in Nature. Each of the elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—include categories such as a season, a direction, climate, stage of growth and development, internal organ, body tissue, emotion, aspect of the soul, taste, color, sound . . . the categories are seemingly limitless

    Replying to an old post, but still very relevant, I am a huge fan of Chinese medicine and also the first to admit that it puzzles me somewhat. It really requires some level of study, and seems to go against our Western beliefs in medicine. I just wish it came more naturally for me to understand.

    I have been using Chinese medicine for a while now and it has had amazing results where conventional medicine didn’t help

    More and more people are turning to alternative medicine and Chinese medicine is no exception, it is steeped in history, it works with the body, rather than against it and understands the connections of the whole body.

    There must be something in Chinese medicine because they are always busy in our local shop and the Chinese are steeped in culture and tradition so you know that anything they prescribe will be perfect for you

    Absolutely, it’s been around for centuries and is still going, but I think that unless you have truly studied it, it is probably left to the professionals and get them to treat you. I think Westerners get nervous about going into Specialist Chinese shops, I think they fear looking stupid, not knowing what to ask for.
