Chinese medicine has long recognized, understood, and managed diabetes mellitus. For thousands of years its methods have been widely used and practiced, spreading to surrounding countries, in recent years around the world. Chinese medicine is best characterized by its natural philosophy of healing the body, which serves to guide all of its treatments. This philosophy understands the complex workings of the natural world and uses these principles to adjust the imbalances that are the source of disease. It is far more than a traditional or folk healing practice. It aims to improve the body’s overall function, slow the progress of disease, prevent complications, improve the quality of life, and prolong the life span.
Herbal medicine
Chinese medicine uses substances that occur naturally in nature to restore balance to the body. These substances can be prepared in a variety of ways so that they can be used by the body. Chinese medicinals can be drunk, eaten, inhaled, or applied to the skin.
