Treatments and Therapies > > Treating with Traditional Eastern Medicine

In literal terms, the branch of medicine from the eastern parts of the globe is eastern medicine. This is now also known as alternative medicine, as it is an alternative to allopathic medicines of the western countries. More than fifty to sixty centuries back, eastern medicine took birth mainly in India and China and today it is on its way to revival.

The treatment of illness through eastern medicine is never for the particular symptom only. Your whole body constitution and your general health is the foundation for any treatment under this branch of medicine. Therefore, you cannot find exactly the same medication for individuals having similar symptoms. It aims at your overall health while stressing on the ailment in question.

You can vouch for the fact that eastern medicine tries to solve the ailment from the root cause of the same. It in a way tries to put an end to many of your medical problems at one go. Alongside, it aims at your total well being by taking into consideration your mental and emotional sides too. Some such branches are yoga, reiki, ayurveda, aromatherapy, etc.

Generally, in western medicine you gobble down pills of all shapes, sizes and colors to cure an ailment and end up having more side effects than curing the original ailment. However, in eastern medicine, the concept of “chi” is the main healer; in the sense, it commands all the sense organs of your body to unite and fight against the ailment. This coming together of all the powerful forces of your own self drives away the illness right from the root itself.

This does not go to say that the western medicine is powerless or not a good platform for curing your ailments. It is only that eastern medicine lays more stress on your inner capabilities to put up a winning fight against your ailments and not to leave yourself at the mercy of mere pills and capsules to set you right.
