The Art: Chinese Medicine 中医

中医 means Chinese Medicine,
but in actual term,
中 carry the meaning balance,
which means,
to bring health and body condition back to balance state, so as to obtain good health.

Medicine is an art.
In modern medicine,
The study of:
the process of gaseous exchange through simple act of breathing,
the flow of the blood in the blood vessel,
the process of digestion through a series of digestive organs,
the process of growing a baby in the mother's womb,
and of cause
the best achievement is treatment through surgery,
to cut open a living human, to remove unintended growth, or to "repair" damage in a human,
is an amazing piece of art.

Like modern medicine,
Chinese medicine is also a piece of art,
but of different form.
Chinese medicine treat by
regulating flow of Qi or Energy in the body through acupuncture, massage, cupping therapy or herbal prescription,
and though the art of balancing Yin and Yang in the body by removing the excess or to replenish the deficient of either Yin or Yang in the body.

Both modern medicine and Chinese medicine treats,
but in different ways.
Both have their own expertise,
and thus,
both complement each other in treatment of a disease/syndrome.
