Philosophy Behind Chinese Medicine
Ma Kou carrying medicinal plants

Chinese medicine emphasizes prevention rather than cure and views the cause of illness as a weak level of energy, which can be treated with a strength-giving restorative medicine. It focuses on "promoting wellness" and treating diseases by locating disharmonies and imbalances and restoring harmony and balance. Agents that cause disease are regarded as belonging to the same universe as the body and treatment is not a mater of killing or getting rid of them but in restoring their balanced place in the universe.
Ma Kou carrying medicinal plants Practitioners of Chinese medicine believe that health is regulated by a rhythm of yin (the passive female force) and yang (the active male force), which in turn are influenced by the "five elements" (fire, water, tree, metal and soil), the “six pathogenic factors,"(cold, wind, dryness, heat, dampness and fire) and the “seven emotions” (joy, anger, anxiety, obsession, sadness, horror and fear). In healthy people these forces are in harmony. In unhealthy ones they are out of balance. Too much or too little food, drink, work or exercise can also throw the whole system out of wack. Many Chinese believe that hip problems can be caused by excessive drinking and hormone imbalances. Disease is believed to be caused when a patient's qi (pronounced "chee") is too weak, out of balance or blocked. Qi is a "vital force" present thought out the universe that makes life possible. Qi flows through the body along 14 major channels, or “meridians." The task of a Chinese doctor is make the qi strong by restoring its balance with the universe and harmonizing the internal rhythms of the patient with the rhythms of his or her environment. Medical problems are approached holistically. Knowledge of internal anatomy is not necessary because the body gives external clues for imbalances on the inside. Explaining why he takes Chinese medicine one policeman in Beijing told the New York Times, “It is a part of the Chinese tradition to drink these medicines, and at the very least it gives you peace of mind." |

The antioxidant activity of some curcuminoids and chalcones
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10787-016-0264-5 Münevver Sökmen & M. Akram Khan Inflammopharmacology volume 24, pages81–86 (2016) Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed during normal cell aerobic respiration (Gutteridge and Halliwell 2000) and are the main cause of cell damage involved in chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and others (Sugamura and Keaney 2011). Reactive oxygen species are also produced by neutrophils which are highly sophisticated cells that actively seek out, ingest and destroy pathogenic microorganisms (Fialkow et al. 2007). To achieve this essential role in host defence, neutrophils deploy a potent antimicrobial arsenal which includes ROS as oxidants. Antioxidants play an important role in neutralising (ROS) and protecting the cells from oxidative damage. Curcumin is an extremely potent lipid soluble antioxidant and has been suggested to act through its pro-oxidant/antioxidant effects, because, formation of ROS by curcumin and curcuminoids correlates with their apoptotic activity on tumour cells (Mishra et al. 2005). The free radical scavenging activity of curcumin can arise either from the phenolic OH group or from the CH2 group of the β-diketone moiety. A reactive free radical can undergo electron transfer or abstract H-atom from either of these two sites. |
