A rich treasure house
created by ancient Chinese people in their long years of struggle
against disease , traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacology
forms an independent school within the healing arts . It has made
outstanding achievements over its 2000-year history during which
it has improved continuously to remain widely practiced today
.
Traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacology incorporates the
yin (negtive)and Yang (positive) theory and the theory of the
five elements (metal , wood , water and earth ) , both containing
naive dialectical ideas of ancient China . The former theory holds
that everything has a Yin and a Yang side the struggle and interaction
between which is the source of the ceaseless emergence and change
of all things in the universe .
Traditional
Chinese medicine and pharmacology embodies a great many valuable
ideas and views which have been proved through practice . One
of the most important is that , instead of treating only the symptoms
, traditional Chinese medicine takes into consideration every
aspect of a patient's condition to form a unified idea of it under
the theories of yin and yang and the five elements before deciding
on its treatment .
Altogether more than 5,000 types of Chinese medicinal herbs are
in use now . According to traditional Chinese pharmacology , the
properties of drugs are differentiated by their " four characteristics
" (cold , cool , warm , and hot ) and their " five tastes " (hot
, sour , sweat , bitter , salty ). Chinese medicines traditionally
have been prepared in the forms of pills , power , pellets , tincture
, drinks , syrup , lumps , and gelatin . Now they are also prepared
as injections , tablets , solvents , and sprays .
