Qi und Blut als grundlegende Konzepte der Traditionellen Chinesischen Medizin

Abstract: The concepts of Qi and blood in the traditional Chinese medicine are of basis importance for the antique understanding of physiology and pathology as well as of diagnosis and therapy of diseases in man. The presentations of the theory of acupuncture in the western world are generally based on modern monographs from the country of origin as well as on individual interpretations and reinterpretations. Up to now, it has only been possible to highlight the backgrounds of the Chinese concepts: the elaboration of a basic understanding of these basic theorems of Chinese medicine has still to be done.Contrary to the western culture and spirituality, the concept of Qi is not subject to the separation of structure and function, of mind and matter. Therefore it basically maintains the unity of mind, body and soul, when looking at all the phenomena of life. So, the assimilation of basic concepts of the Chinese art of healing could result in a reconciliation of partly opposing currents and fields of modern medicine as well as the sciences relating to man.
