How does Taoism work on healing?

There are two main development stages of Daoism. In the first stage, Lao-zi put Taoism philosophy forward based on Yin-yang theory in around 550 BC, it is called “Dao jia si xiang” in Chinese, which means “The thoughts of Tao Family”. For just the Chinese traditional healing, the thought of tao family gave people instruction on the mind, the mind affects the way of thinking, the way of thinking affect emotion, emotion affects health. It is the most traditional Chinese philosophy that influences the Chinese mind and the way of thinking.

The main conception of Taoism philosophy is “Tao (“Dao” in Chinese)”, which means the development of everything (nature or universe)should follow the natural rules, do not fight against nature rule. People and universe should become one, and also as soft, as tolerant, as peaceful as water, but also as powerful as water. Taoism educated people to be patient, and peaceful when life goes down, as this is the period of cultivating and saving energy. The life will go up as long as you save enough energy for it, as Ying-yang always keeps changing.

In the second stage, In the Han dynasty, based on Laozi Taoism philosophy and Chinese traditional religion, “dao jiao” arise. Dao Jiao (means Dao religion in Chinese) is based on Daoism but it inclined to religion. Becoming immortal is the best wish of old stylites. Taoists search for different ways to become immortal. They use Daoism medicine, they do Qigong to cultivate internal chi to make the body strong and make mind peaceful, they do Kungfu. As we all know, it’s unrealistic to become immortal carnally, but The Taoists get fitness and longevity indeed on the way to pursue immortal.

In a word, the second stage developed based on the first stage. The first stage, ‘’Dao Jia”(means Dao family literally) is the philosophy about the universe, nature, and people. The second stage, ‘dao jiao’, inclined to religion and the method of becoming immortal. In addition, Daoism(Daojiao) gives instruction on the method of how to get health and longevity.

How does Chinese traditional medicine work on healing？

Same with other Chinese traditional culture, Chinese traditional also base on Ying-yang theory and Five elements theory, which reveals the rules that the universe run and developed. The essence of the Ying-yang theory is the “changes” between different things or different aspects of the same thing. Five elements mutually promote and reinforce. We can predict the hidden risks in your body by the running rules of Ying-yang and five elements, so Chinese medicine works very well in preventing disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine uses herbs to treat disease. There are not so many side-effects if you use herbs in the right way. As we all know, a lot of diseases come from improper medicine use and medical poison rather than itself. Some herbs work as medicine if you know the recipe. Some herbs can just work as a tea for normal drink or to prevent disease, it’s harmless. Some herb can be used as normal vegetable.
