Oriental Medicine
The term Oriental medicine refers to the healing traditions of Asia. These medical systems have evolved over centuries of practice and due to encounters with other cultures. In the West today, Oriental medicine comes under the umbrella of complementary or alternative medicine, although in Asia they are often practiced alongside biomedicine. What distinguishes Oriental medicine is that it is based on large bodies of traditional knowledge and are influenced by religious philosophies such as Buddhism, Hinduism or Taoism.
Although they are distinct and complete systems, they share similar principles and practices. Oriental medicine is based on various ancient theoretical frameworks; such as Yin-Yang, the Five Elements, the meridian systems or the bodily humours. They consider illness to be a combination of physical, emotional and environmental factors. All the processes of the human body are seen to be interrelated and in constant interaction with the natural world. Health is therefore the result of finding balance within the body and living in harmony with the seasons and one's environment. The traditional systems of tongue and pulse diagnosis or urine analysis are employed, which give a detailed indication of a person's internal functioning. The patient is viewed as a whole, although presenting symptoms help the practitioner to understand and treat disease. There is also a large emphasis on preventative medicine and the maintenance of health in the broadest sense of the word.
Complementary Therapy
Complementary medicine, also known as alternative medicine, refers to methods of healing which are not normally considered part of conventional Western medicine. However, many complementary therapies have a long history of use and are widely recognised for having health benefits. Certain traditions are practised in conjunction with conventional treatments as part of what is referred to as integrative medicine.
One distinguishing feature is that most complementary therapies are considered holistic, they work along the principle of treating the person as a whole, not merely addressing physical symptoms. Holistic forms of medicine also hold the view that the body has a natural capacity to organise itself around it's inherent health. Practitioners of complementary medicine work in partnership with patients to encourage self-healing.
Please note:
The Kailash Centre (The Tibet Chaitable Trust) only provides the space for private practitioners to conduct their practice and does not take responsibility for the outcome of treatments carried out at the premises. Individual practitioners are responsible for their own clients.
