TAILIEUCHUNG - Anatomical Roots of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture

Thomas and others (1991) observe that patients who use CAM and TM also commonly access conventional medical care. In industrial countries, most CAM usage complements conventional care, but this is also common in developing nations. For instance, Mwabu (1986) provides evidence from Kenya that patients are likely to use more than one type of provider from the range of those available, such as government facilities,mission clinics, private clinics, pharmacies, and tradi- tional healers. Furthermore, the choice of provider depends on patients’ illness, condition, socioeconomic status, and educa- tion. If an initial visit to one kind of provider did not resolve the disease satisfactorily, a follow-up visit was made to a differ- ent. | J Chin Med 19 1 2 35-63 2008 Claus C.

Occidental anatomy began only 1500 years later. Measurements were made of his internal organs and bamboo rods were inserted into his blood vessels in order to discover where they begin and where they end for the purpose of a better understanding of how to cure diseases. Similar anatomical dissections are mentioned in chapter 12 of the Huang-Di Nei-Jing Ling-Shu entitled Jing-Shui S . The ancient Chinese characters for body dissections given here are the same as in modern Chinese anatomy namely Jie Pou M H J. The courses of the pathways as laid out in chapter 10 of the Ling-Shu-Jing are basic for acupuncture and could well be the result of such dissections. Otherwise it cannot be explained why ancient Chinese physicians were able to denominate the respective viscera properly with names still in use today how they .
