Chinese medicine is one of the oldest continuous systems of medicine in history, with recorded instances dating as far back as two thousand years before the birth of Christ. This is in sharp contrast to the American or Western forms of health care, which have been in existence for a much shorter time span (the American Medical Association was formed in 1847, some 3,800 years after the first mention of traditional Chinese medicine).

Chinese medicine is quite complex and can be difficult for some people to comprehend. This is because it is based, at least in part, on the Taoist belief that we live in a universe in which everything is interconnected. What happens to one part of the body affects every other part of the body. The mind and body are not viewed separately, but as part of an energetic system. Similarly, organs and organ systems are viewed as interconnected structures that work together to keep the body functioning. Focus will be on the integration of Western nature cure. Taoist cosmology and Classical Chinese medicine.

DR HALLOWITZ received both his Doctor of Naturopathy and Masters in Oriental Medicine at the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR. He maintains a busy practice integrating Classical Chinese medicine and Naturopathic medicine in Westfield, NY. He believes that a healer’s primary role is to identify and remove obstacles to equilibrium and to facilitate and augment the natural healing ability both within the individual and also within the larger community, the more-than-human world.
