Understanding diseases in Oriental medicine

Disease is not mere surrender to attack but also a fight for health; unless there is a fight , there is no disease. Disease is not just suffering, but a fight to maintain the homeostatic balance of our tissues, despite damage. Symptoms are not disease. Symptoms accompany disease. Symptoms are evidence of disease. But, treating symptoms is like killing the messenger for bringing bad news. In fact, treating symptoms can suppress the body's natural responses and inhibit the healing process. The many "successes" of conventional medical treatment were only temporary and often harmful, since the symptoms often returned or more threatening symptoms manifested as the body sought to reestablish its internal harmony. No matter what combination of conditions, complaints and sufferings the patient experiences at any one time, all are manifestations of an internal physiological disorder that is unique to the individual. No one organs of the body can be sick without affecting the person as a whole. Therefore, all symptoms must be taken into account and pulse should be taken to give priority in the selection of treatment at that time. We do not treat symptoms. We treat the root causes. The symptoms and pulse guides the practitioner to the root causes that need to be taken care of with preference.
