Acupuncture

The Chinese character for Acupuncture is made up of characters for Gold and Needle. On the left, you see the top of the mountain, under which is hidden, between strata of earth, two small nuggets of gold. On the right is a needle with thread passing through it.

For those who read these pages, we're sure you'll discover that acupuncture is more than just needles, it is gold.

Herbology

The Chinese character for medicinal herbs contains the radical for all herbs which is the horizontal line at the top. Perhaps it is to suggest two blades of grass piercing through the earth. Beneath, the symbol for restrain implying that herbs restrain sickness.

We sincerely hope that the FDA will not restrain Americans from utilizing these natural remedies.

Qi Gong

(exercises to amplify one's internal energy)

The Chinese character for Qi (pronounced "chee") includes the horizontal lines at the top which suggest clouds. The part in the middle that looks a little like an asterisk is the symbol for rice (the root of the rice stalk is the line that goes down, the tap roots are those that go down and to the sides, then above the horizontal line which is the ground, we find two seeds of rice). Putting together rice and clouds we find that the graphic representation of Qi is meant to remind us of the vapors that come from cooking rice.

The word Qi is used to describe breath, vapor, air, and of course, the internal energy that Chinese medicine is so adept at strengthening.

    Part of this character that represents "Recovery from Illness" is a few strokes that is used for all characters that deal with sickness. It is a man laying in bed. In this case, the left vertical line with the two little strokes to its left and the horizontal line on the top with the one little stroke on the top. The A-frame looking symbol inside is made up of the characters that represent "join", which is the A-frame part along with the highest horizontal line of the three inside. Beneath that is the character for "work". So, inside we have "competed work" and outside we have "sickness." In other words, recovery from illness.

    All that explanation, and all you were really looking for was someone to help you feel better.

    Colleges and Universities of Traditional Chinese Medicine

    The character for "Learn" can also signify enlightenment. The small vertical lines at the top represent the arms of the master crossed over his chest. Beneath the master's hands is a horizontal line which means "roof", in this case, the roof of the student's mind. The symbol that looks like the number "3" with a line through it means "son." Putting together all these components we see the master overseeing the studies of the student.

    There are many institutions that would like to oversee your education.

    Personal experiences with TCM.

    The above Chinese character, which means "Belief" is made up of the portion on the left which is a man. He stands next to his words which is the portion on the right. The square is the mouth, the lines above it are words floating up to heaven.

    In this section, we include the letters from a number of people who've come to believe in Chinese medicine, excellent examples of people who stand by their words.

    The Chinese character for "friend" is simply made up of two hands holding each other. The first hand is the cross in the upper-left quadrant with the wrist dropping down and to the left. The second hand's wrist extends down and to the right of the character. The remaining components are the fingers of the second hand.
