Chakra Tuning

Whole Medical System
Whole medical systems (WMS) are built upon theory and practice. Western Cultures include homeopathic medicine, and naturopathic medicine, while non-Western cultures include traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Ayurvedic medicine. · TCM is approximately 5,000 years old and is based on the concept that disease results from disruption in the flow of energy, which is maintained by keeping a balance in the two forces known as yin and yang. It uses the theory of five elements such as fire, earth, metal, water and wood to explain how the body works. Herbs, massage, and moxibustion are some of the ways TCM uses to treat people suffering from different diseases. · Ayurveda originated in India and had evolved over thousands of years. It means “the science of life”, and the goal of this form of medicine is to prevent disease and promote welfare by balancing body, mind, and spirit. It works via the theory that each person’s body constitution is based on five doshas, and imbalance in any of them could result in illness. Ayurvedic medicine helps in eliminating impurities, reducing worry, and increasing harmony in a person’s life by increasing resistance to disease via therapies such as diet, yoga, meditation, herbs, massage, and controlled breathing. · Homeopathy originated in the 19th century in Europe. Its goal is to help the body heal by using natural substances derived from plants, minerals and animals. A practitioner helps treat physical symptoms, emotional, psychological state, body type, and genetic and personal health history. · Naturopathic medicine also originated in Europe, and includes ancient and modern therapies from other traditions. It attempts to help the body heal by supporting good health rather than fighting a disease. Practitioners use natural and non-invasive treatments by focusing on changes in diet, lifestyle, and prevention combined with herbs and massages.
