Beginning and Growth of TCM Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history. During antiquity period, our ancestors used primitive medicine to fight diseases. While searching for food, they found that some foods that the specific property of relieving or eliminating certain diseases. That was the beginning of herbal medicine. Li Shizhen (1518-1593 A.D.), physician and pharmacologist in the Ming dynasty, studied many medicinal plants by going up mountains to pick up med...icinal herbs and dissecting some medicinal ingredients from animals and watching out for their effects by following their traces. While warming themselves around a fire, our ancestors discovered that local warming with hot stones would relieve and eliminate certain symptoms. Slowly they practiced and improved this technique and the therapies of hot medicated compress and moxibustion were created. In the course of using stone implements as tools for everyday needs, they discovered by chance that the pain in one part of the body would be alleviated when another part was pricked. Slowly the early method of acupuncture therapy was born. And treatment with stone needles and bone needles came into being. Beginning of Western Medicine In the last 100 years, Western medicine became widespread in the world. Chinese and Western medicines are two medical sciences with different theoretical systems developed under different historical conditions. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Future of TCM and medicine It is predictable that Chinese and Western medicine will gradually merge into a single entity partly because of the rapid advance of the world’s science and technology and partly because of the development of Chinese and Western medicine in practice and theory.
