There is much room for bringing Eastern approaches into Western medicine…

“Eastern medicine is more focused on regulating the body, keeping you healthy and boosting your immune system, and Western medicine is more like medications, antibiotics and therefore targeting specific types of illnesses and helping you recover from them…..I think both of them should be used; natural treatments boost immune systems are definitely good......Acupressure could be good for types of chronic pain and tension, which was my research, so I definitely think they could be integrated…..People say Eastern medicine hasn't been scientifically investigated, so that's my goal to scientifically investigate it and see how it is effective......If you look at the theories behind it, there's Qi (internal energy) going through the body, and you're trying to regulate that…..It's been shown that the acupressure points are located at points in the body where there is low electrical resistance, so it's conductive in areas where you can easily send an electrical signal throughout the body......There is some electrical energy throughout the body, electrical charge differences between blood in the arteries and blood in the veins. So really, Qi could just be an Eastern form for electricity way before electricity was formally discovered. So I think there is a definite relationship between the two, and they should connect more than they are in the present." - Steven Castellano |
