3 Core Theories of Chinese Medicine
- Yin and Yang
- The Five Elements
- Qi
These concepts permeate Chinese philosophy and medical theory and form the foundation for the whole of Traditional Chinese (& East Asian) Medicine.
East vs. West
- Western Philosophy: a statement can be true, or can be false, but never both.
- Eastern Philosophy: a statement can be true, false, both, or somewhere in between. Every false statement has an element of truth, and vice versa.
