Chinese Medicine: A Brief History (and why it's still relevant for healing)
Mar 28, 2024 Season 1 Episode 65
Nick McGurk & Dr. Ron Dummar

What is Chinese Medicine? It's a medical system that has existed in some form for more than 3,000 years. In this podcast, Dr. Ron Dummar discusses the history of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) -- and how he utilizes it to heal patients today.

A Chinese medical provider is able to support the body to be as healthy as possible,
even when disease is present. This allows the Chinese medical practitioner to provide
supportive care for patients with serious illnesses such as cancer, hepatitis and AIDS.
The specific pain reducing impact of acupuncture and some Chinese herbs makes them
ideal for the treatment of chronic pain. In China, acupuncture is practiced side by side
with Western medicine in hospitals and clinics. In the United States, Chinese medicine is also becoming increasingly integrated with biomedical practices and is often used in
conjunction with medical treatments and psychological care.

A TCM practise that dates back more than a millennium led to the discovery of the anti-
malarial drug artemisinin, (qinghaosu) from the plant Artemisia annua (Asteraceae). This discovery led to Professor Youyou’s 2015 Nobel Prize.
