  • The Internal Treatment of Traumatic Injury
    THE INTERNAL TREATMENT OF TRAUMATIC INJURY The focus of this paper is the treatment of traumatic injury with internally ingested Chinese herbal formulas. Whereas the strategy for external treatment of traumatic injury is governed by clinical manifestation, internal treatment strategies are governed by proper identification of progressive stages. GENERAL SIGNS/SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE INJURY There are three distinct stages of traumatic injury, which are expressed by a limited number of clinical manifest- ations. The three primary manifestations of the early stages of trauma are heat, swelling, and pain. Western medicine, since the time of the great Roman physician, Galen, has specified five signs, but the differences, from our point of view, is negligible. The five signs discussed by Western medicine are: pain, swelling, redness, heat, and loss of function. Oriental medicine combines heat and redness into one sign, since both a sensation of warmth and the visible sign of redness are classified as heat. The “loss of function” sign is seen by Oriental medicine as a mechanical consequence of significant qi and blood stasis, and cannot be addressed separately from qi and blood stasis by internal treatments. Thus, both East and West are in basic agreement about the signs of early stage injury. If acute injury develops into a chronic issue, other signs can come into play, such as numbness/tingling, localized weakness, and aggravation by external evils such as cold. A WORD ABOUT BLEEDING Bleeding is a special manifestation of traumatic injury, and is a pattern unto itself. In most injuries where there is bleeding, it must be stopped before further assessment is made.

  • An Introduction to Chinese Medicine Dermatology
    AN INTRODUCTION TO CHINESE MEDICINE DERMATOLOGY 1 ITCMDA EDITOR’S PROLOGUE 凡大醫治病，必當安神定志，無欲無求， 先發大慈惻隱之心。誓願普救含靈之苦。 Whenever eminent physicians treat an illness…they must first develop a heart full of great compassion and empathy. They must pledge to devote themselves completely to relieving the suffering of all sentient beings.1 - Sun Si Miao, 6th Century Patients with skin diseases suffer not only from physical discomfort but also emotional and social challenges, and high dependence on medications. We are at a moment of great collaboration within integrative medicine. Our hope is that this cooperation will develop greater improvement in the lives of our patients. Chinese medicine dermatology as a specialty and the creation of the ITCMDA In ancient China, during the Confucian times of the late Warring States period (second to third centuries BCE), the practice of medicine was organized into four main specialties - Dietician, Veterinarian, Internal medicine, and Dermatology. Historical records indicate that the system was quite similar to our own modern medical system where a general physician refers patients to the dermatologist when needed, “Whenever those in the state are afflicted with illnesses, with ulcers on the head or with wounds to the body, he [the chief physician] visits them, and then sends them to physicians with an appropriate specialty to cure them.”2 From ancient times until today, Chinese medicine dermatology has been a separate specialty, needing specific training for its successful practice. As Chinese medicine dermatology has such a long history of specialization, it is especially important that there exist a modern organization to aid in the training of students of dermatology, and in assessing the reliability of those that practice Chinese medicine dermatology.

  • The NCCAOM Certification in Chinese Herbology
    ® The NCCAOM Certification in Chinese Herbology About Chinese Herbology Chinese herbal medicine, also known as Chinese herbology is one of the primary modalities within the scope of Oriental medicine. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Oriental medicine (which includes the practice of acupuncture, Chinese herbology and Asian bodywork therapy) is a complete system of healing that dates back to 200 B.C. 1 Chinese herbology includes treatment with substances such as plants, roots, minerals and more. Like acupuncture, Chinese herbology has evolved as an integral part of Chinese medicine and is used to re-harmonize imbalances in the body. 2 The World Health Organization (WHO) defines herbal medicines to include herbs, herbal materials, herbal preparations and finished herbal products that contain as active ingredients parts of plants, or other plant materials, or combinations. Chinese formulas are comprised of herbs designed for each individual patient. This special formulation is crucial because these formulas must be delicately composed for the purpose of achieving balance in each disharmonious state of being. Even small deviations in dosage or herb composition can change the entire focus of the formula and therefore, the results. 3 Herbal Descriptions and Forms The following are descriptions of herbal medicines as defined by the WHO: 4 Herbs are pure plant material such as leaves, flowers, fruit, seed, stems, wood, bark, roots, rhizomes or other plant parts, which may be whole, fragmented or powdered. Herbal Materials, like actual herbs, consist of fresh juices, gums, fixed oils, essential oils, resins and dry powders of herbs. In some countries, these materials may be processed by various local procedures such as steaming, roasting, stir-baking with honey, alcoholic beverages or other materials.
