Taoist and Traditional Chinese Medicine,TCM History,Much of the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine derived from the same philosophical bases that Taoist and Buddhist philosophies are based on, and reflects the classical Chinese belief that the life and activity of individual human beings have an intimate relationship with the environment at all scales. It has also been noted that early traditional Chinese medicine stemmed from Taoist masters who had an extraordinary sense of the body and its workings through their many hours of meditation. This may be why TCM also inherited many of the principles inherent to Daoism (Taoism).,道统万物、道法自然思想对中医整体观影响,老子说：道生一，一生二，二生三，三生万物。有物混成，先天地生。寂兮寥兮，独立而不改，周行而不殆，可以为天地母。吾不知其名，强字 之曰道，强字之名曰大。 显然，道为万物之共性和本原，又体现在万物变化和过程之中。万物皆是以道同构同源的有机整体。人与天地同构，天地与人一体，人可通过观察自然来体悟自然大道，通过遵守自然大道促进生命和谐。内经中的阴阳之道、顺应自然、和合调养等思想都得益于道家思想。,道家气一元论对中医气化学说的影响,老子说：无，名天地之始；有，名天地之母。此两者同出而异名，同谓之玄。玄之又玄。又玄指天地未开混沌元气，元气发展到第二段玄，即产生有无之根元气，最后元气始剖阴阳二气。无即气，构成万物元素，有即理，形成万物分理。 庄子说；人之生，气之聚也。聚则为生，散则为死通天一气耳。气变而有形，形变而有生。 庄子把生死解释为一种气化过程。内经中的阴阳根于气、万物生于气、气机失调则病、保精气等思想受此影响。,道家辨证法思想对中医辨证论治影响,道家认为：整个世界有条理的变化都有道主动，道本身蕴涵着内在矛盾。道生一，一生二，阴阳生。 中医中有阴阳、虚实、寒热、表里、脏腑、升降、沉浮等道家认为：矛盾双方相互依存，相反相成，“有无相生，难易相成，长短相形”。运动是往与复的统一，精神是形与神的统一，生命是生与死的统一。道家认为：矛盾相互转化，物极必反“祸兮福之所倚，福之祸之所伏”“曲则全，枉则直，洼则盈” 等。 道家还发现量变引起质变的现象：其安易持，其末兆易谋，其脆易伴，其微易散。为之于未有，治 之于未乱。,Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of healing based upon the Chinese philosophy of the correspondence between Nature (Tao) and human beings.,The principle of microcosm-macrocosm is based upon the observation of several thousand years that Nature has a vital effect upon the health of people. e,Another fundamental principle is that of Yin and Yang, the two basic complementary energies of Nature.,All of the manifestations of nature are thought to be composed of a specific balance of these two forces. Health is also thought to be due to the appropriate balance of yin and yang in the body. This balance is reflected in many ways,but the most fundamental is that of the relationships of Qi, the vital force or energy which flows through a system of channels and conduits in the body, much like the earths magnetic field. The Qi is responsible for activating and maintaining all of the physiological functions of the body.,The methods of TCM all involve different approaches to altering the circulation of Qi in order to allow the body to naturally heal itself.,Acupuncture uses needles to puncture specific locations (acupoints) along the channels that conduct the qi through the body. Moxibustion（艾炙，艾灼） uses the application of heat in the form of a burning herb called moxa on the acupoints or on regions of the body.,Tuina Bodywork(推拿）uses hand techniques on the acupoints（n. 穴道，中医 穴位） and the musculoskeletal （adj. 肌（与）骨骼的）system.,Herbal medicine uses plant, animal and mineral substances to activate internal relationships that effect the balance and circulation of the Qi.,Taoist Dietary Advice,As diet is considered one of the major elements of health Chinese doctors will often use the yin/yang and 5 elements theories（五行）ecommend diet changes if the patients intake is unbalanced.,The Taoist diet is based on simple rules, one of the most important being eat only food - this means avoiding unnatural foods that the body cannot process (artificial additives, drugs etc.) and heavily processed foods that contain little or no nutriti
