The occurrence and development of all kinds of diseases are caused by pathogenic factors acting on the human body, which results in imbalance between yin and yang, growth and reduction of pathogenic factors and healthy qi, and the disorders of zang and fu organs.
The basic principle of treating disease with Chinese medicinal herbs is to eliminate causes of the disease, dispel pathogenic factors or restore the coordination of the functions of zang and fu organs so that excess and deficiency of yin or yang can be corrected and the disease can be cured.
The concept of treating the body as an entirety, instead of individual parts and organs, is the main characteristics of the theoretic system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In diagnosing pathological conditions, deciding the category of disease and differentiating syndrome, TCM emphasizes the entirety.
Chinese herbal medicine is from natural sources.
