‘Western medicine sees the body as a machine, where you try to fix a broken part or take it out. In Chinese Medicine, the body is seen as a garden. If the leaves are wilting or turning brown, you examine the condition of the soil, see if the plant is getting enough water & sun or if the roots are being impinged upon. You don’t just paint the leaves green!’

From the classic book on Chinese Medicine, ‘Between Heaven and Earth’.  Source:
