Diseases from the perspective of alternative medicine, especially TCM
The diagnosis and treatment techniques of conventional medicine provide us with the images we have of illnesses.
Anyone suffering from back pain, for example, who has seen a doctor about it and perhaps already had an operation, has become accustomed to seeing their illness through the eyes of an orthopedic surgeon. He has a "slipped disc", a "slipped vertebra" etc., he suffers from an abnormality of the skeleton.
For the doctor who has learnt Chinese diagnostics and its therapy methods, such damage is only one factor in a far more comprehensive picture.
For him, there are connections between the condition of the supporting skeleton with the muscles and the condition of the organs inside the abdomen. He also takes the female menstrual cycle into account in the case of such ailments and finally also looks at the individual infection history of his patient.
We have set up a series of information pages. There you will find information about certain clinical pictures from the point of view of alternative and especially Chinese medicine and about the methods of therapy.
