Eastern Medicine
Eastern Medicine refers to a variety of traditional healing practices that originated in Asia, particularly in countries like China, India, and Japan. It emphasizes a holistic approach to health, focusing on the balance of body, mind, and spirit. Common practices include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and yoga, which aim to restore harmony and promote overall well-being.
One of the key principles of Eastern Medicine is the concept of Qi (or Chi) in Chinese Medicine, which represents vital energy flowing through the body. Imbalances or blockages in Qi are believed to lead to illness. Similarly, Ayurveda, a traditional Indian system, emphasizes the balance of bodily energies known as doshas to maintain health and prevent disease.
