Step-by-step explanation:
Traditional Chinese medicine refers to different ancestral medicine practices that have a tradition of more than 2,000 years. Traditional Chinese medicine includes, among others, dietary therapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, etc. Acupuncture refers to the traditional medical practice of penetrating the skin with needles, which is widely used for many different health problems such as nausea, migraine, musculoskeletal problems, anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc. Traditional Chinese is based on the concept that the energy of the body flows along pathways referred to as meridians, thereby a disease state occurs when these meridians are blocked. Traditional Chinese medicine uses different minerals such as, for example, heat-clearing/detoxifying minerals (e.g, gypsum, borax, niter, calcite, thenardite, chalcanthite, etc). Moreover, Ayurveda is a medical practice that originated in India and has a tradition of more than 3,000 years. Ayurveda is closely related to yoga and helps people to take control of their lifestyles (e.g., improving digestion, sleep, etc). This medicine practice (Ayurveda) is based on the idea that health is directly associated with the balance between body, mind, and spirit.
