Today’s medicine is based on traditional medicine. Tra-
ditional medicines exist in every continent of the globe

and in every cultural area of the world. The most fa-
mous ones are traditional Chinese medicine in East

Asia, Ayurvedic medicine in India, and formerly Gale-
nic medicine in Europe, having same resemblance to

each other (Vogel 1991).

Each of these traditional medicines has its own ori-
gin and an individual basic philosophy. The art of prac-
ticing Chinese medicine stretches back over several

thousand years. The legendary culture hero, Shen-nong,

is said to have tested many herbs for their medical prop-
erties. Pen-ts’ao, the first compilation of herbal medi-
cines, is connected with his name (Unschuld 1973,

1986). Since ancient times, the Chinese have divided
the world into five symbolic elements: Wood, Fire,

Earth, Metal and Water. Everything in the world is dom-
inated by one of these elements, and their constant in-
terplay, combined with those of yin and yang, explain

all change and activity in nature. The positive, genera-
tive cycle proceeds as follows: Wood burns to generate

Fire. Fire produces ashes which generates Earth. Earth
generates Metal which can be mined from the ground.
When heated Metal becomes molten like Water, Water
promotes growth of plants, thereby generating Wood.
The negative subjugative cycle is complementary to the

positive, generative one. Chinese medical views regard-
ing the vital internal organs are based on the theories

of yin and yang, the five elements which are each re-
lated to body organs and colors, and the meridians. With

medicines consisting mainly of herbal drugs and min-
erals, Chinese doctors manipulate these natural rela-
tionships to adjust energy imbalances caused by the

excess or deficiency of these forces in the body. Chi-
nese physicians and philosophers developed a special

system of physiology describing vital organs as stor-
age houses and vital connections as meridians that be-
came the basis of acupuncture
