As I mentioned earlier, health care in TCM sense involves the whole person as a part of their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual environment. When TCM practitioners treat a person, these things are all taken into account. In fact, they can all cause disease. Or emotions such as anger or excessive worry may also affect a person's health adversely. For Chinese people, health is more dependent on nutrition and harmony of the body systems.
Western medicine is too dependent on the medical equipments.
One, I don't think we are either East or West. We are Islanders. We usually get looked upon as a vast ocean with pockets of culture in our isolated Islands. However, since doctors do not know much about Islander illnesses, this process is usually not reciprocated. Western medicine is finally starting to acknowledge that there is a connection between our minds and our bodies, that things such as prayer and meditation can heal, that people with a strong support network tend to be healthier and live longer than those who are isolated.
