TRANSLATION FROM TRADICIONAL CHINESE VETERINARY MEDICINE PHILOSOPHY INTO MODERN MEDICINE

摘要

There is still a discrepancy between the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern concepts in medicine. History is the only way in which we can understand the reasons why the TCM concepts are so different from our understanding of today s medicine. If we focus in the essential concepts of TCM and its functions, we can find multiple congruences among the two types of medicine. It is really amazing to think that when TCM was developing, more than two thousand years ago, some processes were already described, which are processes that were later explained by modern Medicine in the last century. The difference between the two is the "language" with which Traditional Chinese Medicine works, which is very different from western science."Translating" the events of ancient times can help us to narrow the gap between these concepts.
