Chinese medicine stems from a nature-based, Daoist philosophy from East Asian culture. Part of the origin of this medicine is based on an ancient cosmological framework of mapping the changes in the universe (heaven) and the environment (earth). The human being exists, and is influenced by, heaven and earth. By understanding the changes happening in heaven and earth around us, we are better able to balance the energetics in the human being. Herbal medicine and acupuncture were some of the tools developed to bring the meridian systems back into to a state of balance.
