Traditional Chinese Medicine!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

With all of this discussion about dragons and posessions I sit here

asking myself, " Which group did I join? " . The name of this group is

Traditional . The Worsley Five Element practice does

not fall under that heading.

 

The Worsley Five Element practice is a CONSTITUTIONAL theory, like

the SASANG theory that is practiced in Korea. It is a theory unto

itself that can not be combined with the theories of TCM. It does

not use herbs in its practice and it has very specific ways of

analyzing people, which are completely different from TCM. Really

the only similarity between TCM and Five Element Constiutional

practices are the use of acupuncture needles, the point locations

and the four needle technique.

 

We need to be clear about the definition of our own practice if we

expect others to gain any kind of understanding about what we do. We

need to be clear if we hope to educate the public so that they can

make good decisions about their health.

 

It is our responsibility to have a marked degree of understanding

and clarity about our use of terms that describe the medicine we

practice.

 

Please take time to understand what you do. If we hope to gain a

degree of acceptance and respect in this Western society, we need to

educate ourselves.
