第3章 中医对病的认识

据中国宇宙观，一切生命都是起源于阴阳的结合。两者之间的和谐产生良好的健康；不和谐导致疾病。一个传统的中国药学理论假设是：病是由于阴阳的内部失衡产生的，所以治病的策略是恢复和谐，中国传统的医生用针灸、草药和特殊食品来帮助纠正阴阳的不平衡，直到身体恢复到健康状态。另一假设是，各器官有精神或物理功能，并且身体的所有部分都是紧密相连的。

The Chinese Attitude Towards Disease

According to the Chinese cosmology,all lives are born from the integration of yin and yang.Harmony between the two produces good health while disharmony leads to disease.One of the major assumptions of traditional Chinese medicine is that disease is due to an internal imbalance between yin and yang,and so the strategy is to restore harmony.Traditional Chinese doctors use acupuncture,herbs and special food to help correct yin-yang imbalance until the body returns to a healthy state.Another assumption is that each organ has a mental as well as a physical function,and all parts of the body are intimately connected.
