Bruh, this is awesome! I like his examples of wood can overcome earth, earth can overcome water, water can overcome fire... It's like advanced rock, paper, scissors, lol. But seriously this is very educational. I love it! As an arborist, I couldn't agree more with him when he said with a tree the fundamental problem is the root. I can't tell you how many times people have asked me, what is wrong with my tree and they are looking up. Most of the time I have to tell them, the problem isn't up there, look down.

im an indian and ive always been very interesting in my tcm/taoism, concepts like qi and yin and yang is very similar to the concepts I grew up as a hindu. Even in medicine theres a lot of over lap in ingredients like ginger/ginseng and turmeric just to name a few tysm for this

[@Reree-gz5bg]

As someone who wants to be in the medical field, I definitely appreciate and respect the holistic approach

[@postwarmage2839]

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years in China and other parts of Asia. It is based on the concept of balance and harmony within the body. Some basic concepts of TCM include: Yin and Yang: This is the concept of dualism in which everything in the universe have two opposite aspects that are interconnected and interdependent. Yin represents qualities such as darkness, cold, and stillness, while Yang represents qualities such as light, heat, and activity. In TCM, health is by-product of balance between Yin and Yang within the body. Qi (pronounced "chee"): Qi is the vital energy that flows through the body along pathways known as meridians. Iillness and disease occur when the flow of Qi is disrupted or blocked. Five Elements: TCM also incorporates the Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) which correspond to different organs - Liver, Heart, Spleen-pancreas, lung and kidney respectively in the body. Each element is associated with specific qualities and functions. Wood starts movement. Fire makes blood to flow, heart to contract. Earth holds every organ at their respective position. when earth is weak, hernia/ prolapse happens. metal sets boundary. Skin is related to Lung, in TCM. Meridians: These are the pathways through which Qi flows in the body. There are 12 main meridians, each associated with a different yin n yang organ in the body. Ren/ CV & GV Governing vessels are sea of qi, not connected to any one organ specifically.

An informative lecture!! Thank you!!

[@sitiramlan2026]

Great help thanks!

[@Noone-rt6pw]

Out of curiosity, acupuncture has been used for thousands of years. My question is, was it more a folklore skill? In contrast to professionals today, going to college, going in a clinic to get experience. But a practice of ancient people, it might be something learned at home or community. Then, anyone know who mapped out the meridian lines and how he or she confirmed these lines and tsubo points. Book, video reference would be appreciated.

[@owenhe533]

Thanks for the lecture. Professor Hung, can you make a video about face diagnosis? Example , Color of face indicates Qi deficiency or blood deficiency...

Saya sebagai praktisi TCM saya sangat ingin sekali pergi ke China atau Taiwan untuk belajar lebih dalam... Tapi... keuangan yang mempengaruhi hahahaha

[@menogeek]

Thank you. it would be better if you write things in order as Yin, then Yang in the charts. It sort of mess with my mind reading Yang chart then yin chart.

[@beletetesfaye5488]

How can i learn tcm as profession

[@wuxingdotao4373]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@labourer04]

How long do chinese herbs stay in your system.in other words after I stop the treatment can I take Western medicines.thank you

[@jingzhou8359]

it depends.you should listen to your doctor.

[@todo8328]

Western and Eastern medicine don’t have the same potential. Eastern medicine corrects the organism to filter as it should. The filtration time depends on the organ’s natural process at its optimal health.

[@NAVEEDAhmad33367]

Sir I need this ppt

[@QuantumFengShui]

I've heard TCM school in Taiwan isn't teaching TCM like China do. Many Taiwan students cross oversea to learn the traditional TCM

[@s.gharavi1614]

Westernization of TCM destroys it... Ultimately it's really the doctor's training that matters. But mainland will be better 100%
