In early June, Jim Spellman, a CGTN (China International Television) reporter in Washington, USA, came to the American Traditional Chinese Medicine Center of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to experience pulse diagnosis, acupuncture and massage with Chinese characteristics.
During the interview, Zhang Xuekai, director of the American Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine, told the reporter that traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years. The overall concept of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the overall harmony, coordination and unity of the internal and external environment of the human body. Therefore, the relationship between human and nature, human and society, and even internal organs of the body will be considered in the diagnosis and treatment process. There is no conflict between modern western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and the two methods can usually be well combined. Some students studying in the American Traditional Chinese Medicine Center are local western doctors who are integrating traditional Chinese medicine skills into their medical practice.
It was also mentioned in the report that the National Institutes of Health found that acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine therapies are safe and effective for some diseases, and the agency is studying wider applications. In recent years, the World Health Organization has accepted traditional medicine, including traditional Chinese medicine, especially the combination with western medicine.
As Chinese medicine is gradually recognized and accepted by the world, the international spread of Chinese medicine has become the mission and responsibility of our generation of Chinese medicine practitioners. Are you ready, almonds?
In addition, the American Traditional Chinese Medicine Center of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a non-profit organization initiated by Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, registered in Maryland, the United States, and its full name is: US Center for Chinese Medicine by BUCM, which was established in December 2016. The center is a comprehensive platform integrating traditional Chinese medicine education, scientific research, clinical medical services and the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine culture.
