介绍:
Chinese traditional medicine
Fernando Davino arrived in Beijing eight years ago to learn about Chinese medicine and to become a Chinese medicine practitioner.
Davino, 37, grew up in Brazil. He went to a medical college in Brazil, in 2001.
The school had a five-year program and a partnership with Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where students could go intern in Beijing for their last year.
Davino said he was drawn to Chinese medicine’s different approach to healthcare.
He earned his bachelor degree at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is now working on a post-graduate degree.
Davino was drawn to Chinese medicine in Beijing because he felt the city had top-notch doctors.
During his studies he was surprised to find many Chinese residents were as familiar with the centuries-old practice.
Traditional Chinese medicine, also known as TCM, includes a range of traditional medicine practices and is based on a 2,000 year tradition. It’s a practice that includes various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, Tui-Na (massage), qigong(a system of deep breathing exercises), and dietary therapy.
Medical knowledge is used to treat disease; philosophy is like yinyang-how different forces complement each other-or knowing the relationship between the environment and the world.
Western medicine focuses on diseases and how to treat them.
Unlike Western Medicine which requires basic medical knowledge and for the treatments of diseases, Chinese medicine must study a wider range of practices.
A Brazil Chinese Medicine Institute built in Brazil in 2006. The Brazilian government launched policies regarding Chinese medicine.
More than 30,000 doctors use Chinese medicine, acupunctures, massages and Chinese herbs in Brazil.
Brazil is also building a community health center to train professional Chinese medicine doctors.
