Der heutige Zeitgeist im Spiegel der TCM

Contemporary „Zeitgeist” is predominantly characterized by superlatives. The aspects of „ever more and ever faster” (economic growth, consumption, „Input”, Information etc.) are caused by a defiency of Yin (compassion, tolerance, patience, spare time). The organ systems or rather functional circuits liver/gall bladder (Le/Gb) and spleen-pancreas/stomach (Mi/Ma) in particular appear to run the risk of sliding into their extremes. Classical Chinese Medicine, primarily polar dynamism as depicted In the I Ging, strives for balance (between Yin and Yang) and therefore and by ways of the respective therapeutic methods may offer a cure to a number of conditions arising from „Zeitgeist”.
