The History of Acupuncture
With a history of 2000 to 3000 years, Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) has formed a unique system to diagnose and cure
illness. The TCM approach is fundamentally different from that
of Western medicine. In TCM, the understanding of the human
body is based on the holistic understanding of the universe
as described in Daoism, and the treatment of illness is based
primarily on the diagnosis and differentiation of syndromes.
The TCM approach treats zang--fu organs as the core of the
human body. Tissue and organs are connected through a network
of channels and blood vessels inside human body. Qi (or Chi)
acts as some kind of carrier of information that is expressed
externally through jingluo system. Pathologically, a dysfunction
of the zang-fu organs may be reflected on the body surface
through the network, and meanwhile, diseases of body surface
tissues may also affect their related zang or fu organs. Affected
zang or fu organs may also influence each other through internal
connections. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment starts
with the analysis of the entire system, then focuses on the
correction of pathological changes through readjusting the
functions of the zang-fu organs.
Evaluation of a syndrome not only includes the cause, mechanism,
location, and nature of the disease, but also the confrontation
between the pathogenic factor and body resistance. Treatment
is not based only on the symptoms, but differentiation of syndromes.
Therefore, those with an identical disease may be treated in
different ways, and on the other hand, different diseases may
result in the same syndrome and are treated in similar ways.
The clinical diagnosis and treatment in Traditional Chinese
Medicine are mainly based on the yin-yang and five elements
theories. These theories apply the phenomena and laws of nature
to the study of the physiological activities and pathological
changes of the human body and its interrelationships. The typical
TCM therapies include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and qigong
exercises. With acupuncture, treatment is accomplished by stimulating
certain areas of the external body. Herbal medicine acts on
zang-fu organs internally, while qigong tries to restore the
orderly information flow inside the network through the regulation
of Qi. These therapies appear very different in approach yet
they all share the same underlying sets of assumptions and
insights in the nature of the human body and its place in the
universe. Some scientists describe the treatment of diseases
through herbal medication, acupuncture, and qigong as an "information
therapy".
