Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) originated from the traditional
medical system in the Chinese civilization, with influences from
the Daoist and Chinese folk traditions in bodily cultivation and
longevity techniques. In the past few decades, TCM has become one
of the leading alternative medical systems in the United States.
This book demonstrates the fluidity of a medical ideological system
with a rich history of methodological development and internal
theoretical conflicts, continuing to transform in our postmodern
world where people and ideas transcend geographic, ethnic, and
linguistic limitations. The unique historical trajectories and
cultural dynamics of the American society are critical nutrients
for the localization of TCM, while the constant traffic of
travelers and immigrants foster the globalizing tendency of TCM.
The practitioners in this book represent an incredible range of
clinical applications, personal styles, theoretical
rationalizations, and business models. What really unifies all
these practitioners is not their specific practices but the goal of
these practices. The shared goal is to strive for health, not just
health in terms of the lack of illness but the ultimate health of
achieving perfect balance in every aspect of the being of a
person-physically, mentally, spiritually, and energetically.
