Diagnosis and Internal Organs

Viewing the body as an integrated whole is the essence of Chinese medical theory.  The Zang Fu internal organs theory represents this intricate web of integrating all aspects of the human and its surroundings.

Terminology similar to western medical science is used in the translation of Traditional Chinese Medicine internal organs theory, be sure not to join the two, it is best to try and leave your knowledge of western anatomy behind because the correspondences are few.  Chinese Medicine not only sees each internal organ as an anatomical/material structure but also their inseparable connections to emotions, tissues, sensory organs, mental functions, colours, climates/environment, seasons, natural elements, etc..  For this reason both anatomical and energetic/functional internal organ aspects are always considered.
