As I wrote my blog, I was afraid about distortion of my writings due to my poor English skills, and I changed my topics to personal stories, yet I hope to give the information to other persons who did not know about what I am going to write,and also my professor, Andrew ,may hope the topic based on own country’s culture.



With the Yin and Yang Theories, we have the Meridian System that is based on our organs are extremely close relation each other.(有機整體) When I was very tired and hard working, I felt strange in my ear. The noise sounds like ring in the ear, so I met a ENT doctor. The doctor gave a diagnosis of tinnitus and I took a medicine, antihistamine. But my ear was not getting better. So, I met my friend who is oriental a doctor and I took medicine again. This time I took a circulatory medicine. Finally, I was better.

Modern medicine divide our body into specific parts and understand our body based on it. That is way modern medical has somehow dichotomous way of thinking. However our body is close relation each others. To understand this disease as oriental medicine, the ring in the ear is caused by weakened heart temporarily due to our weak energy(氣), and the chain reaction is starting: hard work-> weaken our body and energy ->weaken heart-> weaken heart pumping ->blood did not reach the peripheral organs, like ear. As a result, that is partial and temporary ischemia symptom. The Meridian System theory has circulatory views about our body such as river flows on earth according natural laws. I will write more about this theory and more easily treated a few diseases through oriental medical in the next post.
